  • Tails, dammit; TAILS...
  • Did this guy get to collect the royalties?
  • Dr. Zira : Damn if this doesn't freak me out. Check out that stylish sweater.
  • 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.
