ziggy

Ziggy is a single panel comic strip created by Tom Wilson, an American Greetings executive. Ziggy is a small, cute, bald, pantsless, almost featureless character who seems to have no job, hobbies, or girlfriend, just a menagerie of cute pets: Fuzz, a small white dog, Sid, a cat afraid of mice, Josh, a discouraging parrot, Goldie, a fish, and Wack, a duck. The intense cuteness of the cast is juxtaposed with the endless stream of misfortunes which befall Ziggy. It is perhaps this combination of iconic cuteness and identifiable misery which makes this strip so popular despite its lack of plots and a human cast.

Ziggy first appeared in the 1968 collection When You're Not Around, published by American Greetings. The newspaper strip began in June 1971. In 1987 the strip was taken over by Tom Wilson II. The 1982 Christmas special Ziggy's Gift, which contained the Harry Nilsson song "Give, Love, Joy", won an Emmy.
