From anthropomorphism to zugzwang with Zippy


Not your usual alphabet:



All attested words (in some domain or another).  Bill Griffith is scrupulous about such things.  If Zippy talks about a giant pink bunny on a hilltop outside Artesina, Italy, you can bet there is such a thing and it looks like Griffith's drawing.  If Zippy stands outside the Golden Mermaid apartments in Santa Monica, California, you can bet there is such a place and it looks like Griffith's drawing.
