Zippy the Pinhead On April 23, 1997

Bill Griffith's Zippy the Pinhead comic paid a tribute (?) to Nicholson Baker.

The titles of the books on the shelf are not very legible in this GIF file. The books (from left to right) are: Room Temperature, Virgil Partch, U and I, Vox, The Fermata, The Size of Thoughts, and The Mezzanine.

Thanks to Nichael Cramer for bringing this comic strip to my attention.

Thanks to Andrea Grimes for identifying the title of the second book. If anyone knows the significance of the second book, please let me know.
