Holy Crap, Ziggy is 35 Years Old

The publication of an Andrews McMeel anniversary-related book reminds that Tom Wilson's Ziggy newspaper feature is 35 years old this year. It started in an incredibly low number of papers during a reasonably fallow time in American newspaper cartoon history, but it sure has stuck around. Other bits of Ziggy knowledge that fill my head is I believe it's one of those features where the child of the original creator is doing it now, and Ziggy moved over to the newspapers from greeting cards, where Wilson reigned over Sentimental America for years and years, with a pit stop in gift books. I bet Don Markstein knows a lot more stuff about Ziggy than I do.
