I have sent Bill Griffith photos from my own road-side travels, several of which he then used in his daily strips. At least once he has written my name in small print in the middle panel of the Zippy strip, his way of giving thanks to his fans. I am currently re-reading some of the recent Zippy Annual books, and have been making notes on the strips that include tikis. Here are 3 Zippy / tiki strips that appear in the 2001 Annual.

The tikis are from outside the 'Enchanted Tiki House' in Orange County http://zippythepinhead.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=21-May-00&Category_Code=sun2000&Product_Count=20 Zippy .... We adore you, we adore you, one of us! One of us! By the way, you can order black and white or hand colored autographed copies of all the above strips, and possible even the original artwork. Bill Griffith will also sign a personalized inscription to you if you order his books from the official Zippy website. Vern
