P.J. Gladnick just doesn't get it: ZIPPY cartoonist Bill Griffith dishes the dirt on reading paper newspapers and all that jazz, as snailpapers fade into the sunet, is their demise inevitable, or just inexorable?
P.J.,Gladnick who just doesn't get it, writes: "Dear Reader, ....I once again present another Zippy the Pinhead comic strip. I found this one to be quite interesting because not only does Zippy's family bemoan the rapid decline of newspapers [they are expressing JUST THE OPPOSITE, PJ, YOU DON'T GET IT] ....but Zippy the Pinhead also mocks the Huffington Post as a news source [again PJ, Bill Griffith is NOT mocking HOFFPO, he likes HUFFPPO. PJ, in your eagerness to embrace Sarah Palin GOP rightwing lunacy, he simpy don't know how to read ZIPPY correctly. He is mocking YOU, not WashPo or HuffoPo. You have lost your bearings, PJ. ZIPPY in fact loathes the rightwing wingnuts of the USA who have made the USA such a crackpot country ever since Bush took over and next PALIN will be president in 2012 and won't you be happy then! But first, learn to read ZIPPY. You need to read between the lines. It's not apparent to everyone, and I see you are among the illiterate ones when it comes to "getting" what Bill Griffith is saying in his daily strip. Read it again now. -- Danny]

PJ, for your understanding, Bill Griffith, creator of Zippy the Pinhead, is a progressive, liberal, leftwing "underground" comic artist who has garnered praise from readers and newspaper editors alike for his highly unorthodox approach to satire.. SATIRE PJ SATIRE...get it now?
"Griffith is a very savvy observer. He blends surrealism and the comic-strip format into a soapbox for his sociopolitical comments and barbs. His ability to make readers see events in a new light goes straight to the nature of satire and Griffith's strength as a cartoonist."
Griffith, born in 1944 in Brooklyn, N.Y., son of an Army officer.
Zippy the Pinhead is hilarious and baffling, postmodern and retro, biting and glazed, complex and inane and is aimed directly at the rightwing zombie wingnuts who are destroying America's very fabric since they do not know how to even "read" Zippy correctly and people like PJ Gladnick, who himself should be a character name in one of Zippy's upcoming strips, completely misses the point in his recent "take down" of Zippy and the HuffPo. PJ, do you need "reading" glasses?

And I recognize this crude style as belonging to one Brian T. Platt. Oh, and would you like me to publish some of your whining e-mails to me, Brian? The ones that you were crybabying about how I was quoting your own posts word for word?---P.J.

I say PJ, get a life. L'chayim, frm a fellow scribbler. HAHA< i was just tryign to see if yiu would google your own name and you did you vain RiGHTWING angler you! SMILE
I am a 30,000 year old reincarnated rightwing Jewish mensch who materializes once every 5000 years in a Las Vegas hotel suite. My greatest goal in my eternal life is to spend 6 months on a small tropical island with WHO doing nothing but pitching a DUmmie FUnnies book (with CD-ROM insert) deal with her. If you happen to be WHO, please contact me at: pjcomix@xxxx.com. If you are anybody else, you can contact me there too. Remember, if you are a book publisher, please feel free to embarrass me with an extravagant book advance. SMILE
this is NOT Brian J Platt whoever he is PJ.
Could you be just a wee bit more emphatic in your denial, Brian? Remember, your rantings are just like fingerprints.
