Bill Griffith Zippy Quotations

Zippy accepts chaos as what it is, which is the real order of everything.

When the Zippy movie first started being talked about very rarely would people actually say animation to me, because I would never consider it.

Before I started doing Zippy I had an early encounter with a Pinhead in 1969.

Zippy has no problem with the irrationality of the universe, whereas most of us are desperately trying to make order out of the universe, and our lives.

Zippy is living in the moment. He's at peace with himself because he's out of step with everyone; he doesn't know it, and he doesn't care.

I'm trying to shine a light on things that are recognizable in all of us, that Zippy embodies, that once we admit to, maybe we can laugh at.

Sometimes when people read Zippy they're expecting it to fall into the same formula as some other comics. That's not what I do.
