Bill Griffith Cart Quotations

Well, I've done a lot of strips since I've been here about Zippy and me being in Connecticut.

Zippy accepts chaos as what it is, which is the real order of everything.

I think Zippy is part of me, but I'm not Zippy.

But now with technology I could sit down and do a bunch of character drawings and scan them into a computer, and the computer using my exact style could bring it into life, where it would have been edited by various human beings before.

Zippy is living in the moment. He's at peace with himself because he's out of step with everyone; he doesn't know it, and he doesn't care.

Cartooning has come a long way. It started out as an adult medium, for satirical purposes; then the appeal to children got emphasized.

At this point it's kind of a faded, tattered dream, but over the years there was some serious effort and a lot of serious money spent to make a movie.

When the Zippy movie first started being talked about very rarely would people actually say animation to me, because I would never consider it.

I went to an art school in Brooklyn and painted Fine Art, if that's what you'd call it for eight years in New York, until I saw the first underground comics in the East Village Other.
