I Like Zippy

Another great strip from Bill Griffith this morning. This is another one of those self-reflexive strips, though more in relation to the medium of comics than to Zippy itself. All the strips named, especially King Aroo are true classics. By the way, Russell Metty was one of the all-time great cinematographers of Hollywood's Golden Age (Orson Welles' Touch of Evil may be his best work), so I'm guessing the other character names also have some real-life counterpart, though I don't recognize them myself.
