''Zippy the Pinhead'' (or ''Zippy [[Wanton Cruelty to the Common Comma|th']] Pinhead'') is a syndicated comic strip written by Bill Griffith. Zippy first appeared in ''"Real Pulp Comix''" #1 (March, 1971) and went on to appear in [[Underground Comics]]. Then was adapted to a comic strip in 1976. In 1986, a deal between Griffith and King Features ensured much greater distribution than before.▼

It might be the strangest comic strip ''ever'' published in newspapers, and that's saying a lot for a medium that gave birth to ''[[Krazy Kat]]'', ''[[The Far Side]]'' (and its various copycats), and more recently, ''[[Lio]]''. Its drawing style, realistic and intricate and yet otherworldly, would not have been out of place in the early days of [[Newspaper Comics]]. The writing itself is a string of non sequiturs and dreamlike scenarios, with no real punchlines in the traditional sense.▼
