No. Ziggy has never been good. The original Tom Wilson was a greeting card company executive, which explains why it constantly veers between schmaltz and pseudo-profundity. Ziggy was clearly created with calendars, cards, and posters in mind.

GoComics actually has what looks like the full run of Ziggy available, should you wish to subject yourself. The early strips mostly seem to be just Ziggy standing around looking blankly bemused while something wacky happens or some misfortune befalls him.

I like Ziggy. I like the old ones, I like the new ones. There's something I just always find amusing about this character who is constantly being persecuted (by other people, by inanimate objects, by animals, by god, and by life itself) who remains optimistic and never quite seems to understand whether or not he's the butt of a joke. He's always vaguely aware that there's something going on that he doesn't quite understand, and he doesn't know how to feel about it or react.

Does anyone know (or can hazard a guess) what those things on the floor are?

And, for that matter, is it part of the joke? Is Tweedy spinning the lid of whatever that is around on his foot, or did he get it stuck on there, or is his weird dog-bowl thing just different from his officemate's and the joke is that he's frantically trying to open a desk drawer with his foot?

I'd have guessed spittoon, but the comic's a few decades late for those to still be so ubiquitious.

Not that, as Crankshaft and the like prove, that would prevent any self-respecting cartoonist.

You know, despite the racism, I thought the set up was kind of clever-this guy makes the meat better, and dohohoho, it's the white guy, cuz their gonna eat him-but I guess they have an actual cow and the joke was just the white guy taking advantage of having a masseuse around?

The question is, will they be cramming in a "Mr Grey is an abusive dick" storyline to go with their "nobody changes after highschool" default setting? Or will he just get fired, disappear and be freed from the tortuous existence of being a Luann side character.
