Bill Griffith

Before Bill Griffith started his comic career, he tried to become the "next big thing" in the art world of New York, but in 1967 he realized the "art thing" just wouldn't work out. So in 1970, he started drawing comics for all kinds of underground comix publications, such as Yellow Dog and Real Pulp. His most famous character was surely 'Zippy the Pinhead' (as in 'Zippy for President'), the polka-dotted clownsuit-wearing human with a pointy head. Griffith's style was different than the styles of other underground artists. His comics are satirical and humorous, and don't hesitate to criticize today's media-saturated and celebrity-obsessed society.
