How to Be a Ziggy Cartoon Fan

The Ziggy cartoon strip has been around for more than 35 years. He was created by Tom Wilson in 1971 as a greeting card character. His son, Tom Wilson II, took over writing the comic strip in 1987. He still writes it today, making Ziggy one of the longest run comic strips ever. There are several things you can do if you wish to become a Ziggy fan.

      Be like Ziggy. It will be easier if your short and chubby, but even if you're not, all you need is some shaving cream and a razor to create Ziggy's hairstyle. Make sure you have no job, friends or significant other and get a lot of different pets to tell cheesy one-liners to.

      Have a "hang in there" philosophy of life like Ziggy does. As Tom Wilson would say, "You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses."
