The Zippy comic strip has a cult following of devoted readers; however, many people find nothing humorous in Zippy and cannot understand why the strip continues to run. This antagonism is so common that the official Zippy website contains a tutorial on understanding the comic strip (see External links, below).
A philosophical prankster, Zippy always dresses as a clown, and wears a yellow muu-muu with large red spots.
Zippy likes to travel across the country and visit interesting places (current strips focus on his fascination with roadside icons featuring giant beings). His most famous quote is "Are we having fun yet?" His wife's name is Zerbina.
Zippy's speaking style typically consists of seemingly absurd free association, the use of non sequiturs and satire while discussing popular culture and the excesses of consumerism.
