The strip focuses on the eponymous character, a human of some sort who lives at home by himself with his cat, dog, parrot and fish.

* [[Funny Animal]]: Ziggy's parrot talks to him regularly. It is also implied that the cat and dog can talk to him.

* [[Half Dressed Cartoon Animal]]: Okay, he's a human (supposedly), that's still an animal. But ''why doesn't he wear pants?!'' Or have a crotch?

* [[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal]]: Okay, he's a human (supposedly), that's still an animal. But ''why doesn't he wear pants?!'' Or have a crotch?

** In December 2009, ''[[Pearls Before Swine]]'' addressed this issue in an arc in which Rat leads others in protesting Ziggy's pantslessness.

*** It gets better. Stephen Pastis gave Tom Wilson a heads-up about the issue, and the same week Ziggy broke with tradition and started wearing pants.

* [[Long Pants]]: One [[Alternate Character Interpretation|possible answer]] to the above before Ziggy actually started wearing them.

* [[Merchandise Driven]]: So much so in the 1980s.

* [[Merchandise-Driven]]: So much so in the 1980s.

* [[The Movie]]: ''Ziggy's Gift'', directed by [[Richard Williams]].
