Our latest Zippy the Pinhead collection is a hum-Dingburger! While lucky MoCCA Fest attendees were the first to be able to get their hands on Zippy: The Dingburg Diaries (and get it signed by Bill Griffith), for most of the world this is the first good gander at the 11th com-pin-dium, coming in June. It's a big, fat 232 pages of absurdity, non-sequiturs and satire, with 2 1/2 years of daily strips and full-color Sundays. Griffy's still firing on all cylinders and the strip is as great as ever — maybe better! — as these critics have attested regarding other recent Zippy volumes:
"Contemporary readers of Bill Griffith’s comic strip, Zippy the Pinhead, know with certainty that the illustrator is one of the most accomplished draftsmen working in comics today, his talents on a par with those of Robert Crumb. His art — nuanced shading; economical linework; evocative textures; fidelity to dress, gesture, expression, architecture, automotive design, and the thousand and one other accoutrements of modern life — is an unfailing daily marvel, especially considering the speed and regularity at which the strip is produced.” – Paul Di Filippo, Barnes & Noble Review
"If you're already a fan, you'll love this new collection. If you're not afraid to dip into Zippy's unique style of humor, philosophy and social critique, this book may make you a fan." – S.C. Ringgenberg, Heavy Metal
"I am so thankful for these collections… they're so good I wonder if Griffith isn't in the middle of one of those late-period renaissances that sometimes grip strip cartoonists, where everything kind of comes together in a considered fashion that's somehow more vital than the dozen or so years of comics that precede it." – Tom Spurgeon, The Comics Reporter
So put on your muu-muu, slip into your blobby white shoes (bowling-alley approved, apparently) and continue exploring Zippy's hometown of Dingburg, the city entirely populated by Pinheads! We have a 21-page excerpt, and we're taking pre-orders right here.
