"'Zippy the Pinhead's 29 Day Guide to Random Activities and Arbitrary Donuts' is not a collection of underground comix or syndicated strips, but an all-original trip on the Freeway of Fun featuring Zippy, Griffy, Half-Life, and the rest of gang.

Clutching an armload of baseball mitts and billiard balls, I ran after my brood trying to pick up items that were blocking the aisles. I added a pair of tennis shoes, several baseball caps, the camping silverware and a handful of sweat bands to my cache.
