Ziggy 40 Years

Have you ever met someone that you haven’t seen in decades and they look the same-they even act the same? Time seems to have not touched them and they retain some or most of their youthful innocence.

That’s Ziggy. Begun 40 years ago by Tom Wilson Sr. and draw and today written by his son Tom Jr., Ziggy is the perpetual victim whose wide-eyed innocence provides readers with a refreshing and revelation filled look at life from a slightly different point of view.


Andrews McMeel Publishing presents a pint-size, hardback, book tribute to the little man who manages to take life at face value and sees the humor and absurdities in day-to-day events.


Ziggy personifies the child in all of us with his innocence, ability to spot the truth and question what so many of us take for granted. For such a small character in stature Ziggy carries a tremendous weigh on his shoulders with his world-wide recognition, many guest appearances on TV shows, an award-winning animated special, a marketing bonanza and his many charitable endeavors.


Not bad for a little, bald, trouserless, yellow character who started out in less than 20 newspapers and now appears in over 500.
