I think Zippy the Pinhead would be perfect typecasting for a french heroic-fantasy comic.

Well, Zippy does love French fries.

@Hawai: thats Zippy's cousin Pierre. He started going down hill when they cancelled Fantasy Island. Now look at him!

I feel mine does, to a small effect.

It doesn't demonstrate the fact that I am fairly asocial, so really, it is not too accurate.

It's mostly just a nice graphic. It could however be taken as an indication in my interest in physics and astronomy.

I love the Zippy comics. Did you stumble on it after I proved you are Fat Freddy (and his cat)?

Oh no. My former roomate was big Zippy fan and he had all the Zippy books. I read them all and became an instant fan. Unfortunately when we uh, 'split up' all the Zippy books went with him. I havent gotten around yet to buying any myself and rely on the Zippy webpage. Now that I think of it, Zippy probably played a role in me picking this name. There was strip once where Griffy mentioned that people dismiss his comics as appealing only to 'dumb potheads'
