Moai in Dingburg - General Tiki

Bill Griffith has used Moai many times in Zippy's world. Griffith is actually quoted in "Big Stone Head" (from an email exchange that he and I had) about Zippy's relationship with the moai. Griffith really gets the concept of the moai as a global pop culture meme, a building block of our popular consciousness. A moai appears on the cover of "Zippy Annual 2002", in the context of a trailer park lawn ornament. The Magic Carpet Golf moai from Arizona (now at The Hut bar) appears in Zippy cartoons as well, and so does the moai outside of the Timex Museum in New England. Go poke through some Zippy books for more moai sightings, or check out "Big Stone Head" (www.bigstonehead.com).
