Take a trip to the hometown of the Pinheads, with Zippy as tour guide. This newZippycollection is an unexpected departure from previous editions --- most of the strips in this volume chronicle the strange history, people and social mores of Zippy's hometown, "Dingburg," the only city in the U.S. inhabited entirely by pinheads--well, aside from Washington, D.C., and certain sections of Newark. Take a tour of Dingburg's "Beatnik District," experience the festive holiday season of "Nordisk," meet Dingburg's resident Cubist, watch as citizens capture Donald Trump's wig in a raid on an Atlantic City casino, and find out (at last) exactly why Zippy and his fellow Dingburgers speak in non sequiturs (it's the water). Reader response to this new Dingburg "story thread" has been loud and approving, with many asking for directions to the fabled enclave, somewhere "17 miles west of Baltimore.

" Detailed maps will be provided on the new book's endpapers. Dingburg's own favorite comic strips are also on display. Marvel at the baffling success of "Fletcher & Tanya" and the Dingburg kids' favorite online comic, "Unibrow Versus The Universe." Also in this isue: the revealing "Little Zippy" series, in which Zippy's magical and very weird childhood is laid bare. And, finally, Zippy and J. Edgar Hoover (remember him?) cavort in tutus and play with loaded guns. Welcome to Dingburg!.
