Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II for December 16, 2009

“…You really ought to have some evaluation forms to hand out! Because I’d like to file a complaint about that strange man with no pants on who is staring at me! He’s creeping me out!”

Come on, Ziggy, put on some pants!!!

OK, how many Pearls Before Swine fans are here checking to see if Ziggy is wearing pants? Rat lied to us!

i am cheated too…

Yeah, I came over from PBS to check.

Just call my compaints department.

Maybe he has really short shorts on today, it’s possible from this angle.

Here from Pearls!

Pastis is calling for pants, And we fans are gathering like ants, Our loud cries fill the air And Tom Wilson just stares: Ziggy’s pulled up his shirt for a dance

…..and, what oozing , pulsating trail of leaking bodily fluids is the zigmiester going to drag across santa’s lap thereby contaminating them for the next innocent child?

Where’s the pants?

I am a PBS fan as well, and am greatly disappointed to see Ziggy still has no pants.

He can’t afford pants. I think he’s going to ask Santa for a pair for Christmas.

Ziggy hardly ever wears pants but he does once in a blue moon. I don’t know why but that’s probably his trademark. Problem is when his shirt barely covers his bum. And if he doesn’t wear pants he’s not wearing shoes and socks either meaning he must be awfully cold!

Hey PBS fans, I’m pretty sure gocomics.com releases comics to the web a few days after they’ve been in the newspaper. Anybody seen today’s ziggy strip in an actual paper? I’m still holding out hope for pants.

NO PANTS! NO PEACE!

If no pants he could at least wear a longer dress…Er…I meant shirt. ;)

I never realized Ziggy was in the same boat as Donald Duck! Pants for the Zigmeister!!

And yes, I did come over from PBS!

Does a thong count?

Our local paper doesn’t carry Ziggy strips. I don’t like to fill out evualuation forms especially on a boss. I don’t like doing them for a training cause your russed at the end. I don’t know why Ziggy never wears pants.

Explanation from Pastis here: http://stephanpastis.wordpress.com/2009/12/16/i-pant-you-pant-we-all-pant-for-ziggy-pants/

His leg does look angular like he was wearing pants, you decide… I like how the creators talk about what’s going to happen.

Hey hey zig-zig-ay!! How many folks did you scare today!!!

I think this is the first time I’ve seen so many posts on this site. It may be the last, too.

Has anybody else seen the “Happy the Hedgehog” film? I was hoping for a similar ending to this Ziggy/Pearls cross-over (or has Pastis been double-crossed?).

“AMERICA WANTS PANTS!”

PANTS! PANTS! PANTS!

We want pants!

Pant, pant; pant, pant. That’s two pairs of pants.

C’mon. Everyone knows he’s wearing chest waders under a jacket. That’s why there are no obvious shoes (but also no obvious toes).

Just to be contrary, I say give him a kilt!

Move Ziggy for great justice. All your pants are belong to us. You have no chance to get dressed, make your time. hahahahaha!

This *is* today’s Ziggy. Maybe the schedules got mixed up, and there will be pants on Ziggy on some other Wednesday.

I have met Wilson Sr, and he’s cool–he would go along with the pants thing. Either Tom II dropped the ball, or the syndicate messed up.

I’m OK with Ziggy wearing no pants. I assume he’s built like a Ken doll, but less anatomically accurate. More like a potato, really

Yes, I came here because of PBS. But I still read it on dead trees.

Oh, and sweetie cool–Rat’s integrity? Good one! Yes–Ziggy can challenge Rat’s integrity–in a cage match. Finally, an opponent Ziggy can best.

For those that didn’t read the previous comments check mine.

It links to Pastis’ remarks about the strip today, but essentially it says that Ziggy was meant to wear pants but it seems that Tom doesn’t color his own dailies and whoever did did not know to color pants on Ziggy.
