I’m keener on Reid Fleming: World’s Toughest Milkman.
PJ, I’ve been a huge Zippy fan for many decades. One of my favorite sayings is:
“It’s a nation of Pinheads.”
Thanks for posting the Zipster.
While I am not a Zippy fan, I am a HUGE fan of “The Producers”. Dick Shawn’s audition song in the movie ends with the immortal line “Hey World! You Stink!” Love it.
You sort of have to know about Zippy. He is on the cultural cutting edge. When the Zipster mocks global warming, it is hard for global warming alarmism to survive.
“Are we having fun yet?”
Err, if I admitted that I love Zippy the Pinhead, my straight as a arrow father knows best persona my children has swallowed hook line and sinker would be completely blown.
Years of hard work explaining the picture of me with a bong, a beer and a six inch afro as a weird teenager joke to my children might be compromised.
So no, I never, never, never liked Zippy!!!
I've never seen “The Producers” and I probably should, but I really dug that scene, man. I liked the Campbell's can around LSD’s neck. Nice touch.
It reminded me of Tom Wolf's “The Painted Word”, which was the literary and cultural equivalent of the emperor’s new clothes.
The movie “Freaks” scared the hell out of me. It could only have been made during the Pre-Production Code era.
Before the release of "The Producers," people actually took the hippies seriously as if they had some sort of great insight to offer the unenlightened world. After "The Producers" hit the screens in early 1968, the hippies became an object of ridicule. South Park mocked hippies in one of its FUnniest episodes but mockery of hippies first began with that Dick Shawn scene in "The Producers." Right after that, the hippie movement took a nosedive. In fact, hippies soon began to HATE being called hippies.
Hahaha, I forgot all about Zippy... I did not even know that was still alive and well. Last time I think I saw a Zippy comic wass in a certain magazine (I’ll pason naming it!) which I use to get back in my ‘79, ‘80, ‘81 high school days.
Personally I liked Bob and the Church of the SubGenius.
Global warming is by definition jumping the shark to the nth power.
Global warming is probably the only thing on earth that has less evidence to support it than evolutionism.
Thurber?
“I thought I told you to shut up.” Is Reid Fleming's catchphrase. I hope nobody thought that I was insulting a FReeper
