Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II for April 06, 2022

those were the days (when did Ziggy get into color anyway?)

And back in those days, he didn’t even have to wear pants! Oh, wait …

It wasn’t all black and white. Sunday’s were color. At least starting about 1996. Just a guess.

And now, sadly, it’s all red and blue.

…and you didn’t have to explain yourself to anyone…

Now the song “Kodachrome” is running through my head.

This reminds me of an old riddle we told in grade school. What thing is colored black and white and read all over? Give up? Answer ….. an embarrassed penguin.

Ziggy needed to change his shirt to complete that sentence?? :-)

But still no pants

how’d he change shirts between panels?

a lot of my drawings are without color. it’s easier that way. :)

FunFact- Tom Wilson (Ziggy’s creator) worked at American Greetings greeting cards in Cleveland back in the mid-’60s. One of the artists he supervised was Robert Crumb, who would later find fame and notoriety in the world of underground comix.

I miss the “good ole days”- how our neighborhood used to be and all the people. Less traffic also.

He knows he’s a cartoon?

yeah, i remember black and white Mon thru Sat, Sunday the comics were in color.
