Quotes of the Day from Cartoonist Bill Griffith

As I was reading the latest collection of "Zippy the Pinhead" comic strips by Bill Griffith entitled "Connect the Polka Dots," I came across this hilarious one which came out exactly one year ago today. It contains the following quote:

"I give up. The World is run by 15-year-old boys and Republicans.......or is that an oxymoron?."

Another Zippy strip from Feb. 16, 2006, takes place at Roy's Grill in Rossville, Ga., which (I looked this up on mapquest) is just across the border from Chatanooga, Tn.

It has two great quotes. The first of which is:

"I've been thinking it might be fun to relocate to a red state and put up a 'Support Our Troops' sign and an American flag.

----Me, too....being a knee-jerk liberal is becoming tiresome."

A late quote from the same strip adds:

"Maybe we should move to Rossville, Georgia, buy a tract home and get jobs at Staples!!"

The link for "Zippy the Pinhead," which has been mentioned more than any other comic strip in this blog, is:

Alas, there is no internet link for Roy's Grill in Rossville, Ga., but I'm sure they have better burgers than Hardee's.
