Pinheads in America

Nice catch, boo. The history of that symbol is fascinating; I knew it was used as a symbol by many American Indians and by buddhists, but I hadn't realized it had Aztec connections. It got me Googling: a couple of interesting sites here and here (note the Jackie O. swastika moment).

i once appeared in zippy. bill griffith sent me a postcard ahead of time telling me when i'd be in. i have the card framed with the strip. but i guess it'd be bragging to talk about it...

SD-- Please!!! Spill the Beans!!! I had no idea you were such a bon vivant, hanging out with the mucky-mucks...

I've never been able to get into Zippy either. I've tried. The art style just doesn't hit my groove ceiling the right way or something. I dunno.
