This lot includes two vintage Zippy calendars written and illustrated by Bill Griffith, creator of the long-running underground comic strip Zippy the Pinhead. The included editions are Zippy the Pinhead's Dirtball America (1991) and Zippy Year of the Toad (1993), each packed with Griffith’s surreal humor, pop-culture satire, and distinctive graphic style.
Emerging from the underground comix movement of the 1970s, Griffith’s Zippy became nationally syndicated and developed a cult following for its absurdist commentary and philosophical wordplay. These early-1990s calendars capture the strip at the height of its mainstream and alternative crossover appeal—making them appealing collectibles for fans of alternative comics and American cartoon history.
