I wonder how many people, outside of this site’s readers, will get the “Ambiguously Gay Duo” reference.
The “just here for the bed” sign pointing to Quagmire made me laugh.
funny stuff this week! …well, ‘cept for Zippy, but that one is never funny anyway
“Zambi”? I’m all over that pre-order…
Night of the living Zambi. Who knew that Disney had a gritty enough market for this kind of stuff.
Mark Parisi is a college classmate of mine; he and another classmate turned cartoonist, Keith Knight, are doing a book signing/slideshow next Sat at 6 pm at Gulu Gulu Cafe in Salem MA if anyone is interested. Behind the “Bewitched/Elizabeth Montgomery” statue…Mark has indeed done some funny “Betty Rubble Center” cartoons over the years!
The Batman gag is even funnier if you consider that the name of Batman`s dog is Ace the Bathound!
Zippy the Pinhead?! As a friend of mine used to say, “Isn’t he dead yet?”
I liked them all, including Zippy!
Sigh, Zippy. So 6 decades in CA hasn’t clued Bill Griffith in that the costumed characters don’t speak? Nothing like belittling an experience you’ve never had.
The dwarfs eyes kinda creep me out… but that last one is weirdly amusing?
