    Zip may have a future in research.

    I like the extension of the graduation audit into having his picture taken with a temporary set of parents.

    When I grew up, Zonker was the symbol of tomorrow’ Zipper appears to have forgotten to get up since yesterday.

    Zipper better be careful…

    He may attend the start of classes in the fall and have a professor say to him, “Hey! Get out of my class! You graduated last spring and we have the pictures to prove it.”

    Whichever set of parents, their attendance–just like Zipper’s–is a fantasy.

    You have to earn a REAL diploma to know its (limited) value.

    Thanx again GT. Graduation replay every June. Most Grads do not mock the mock or the reason for a dress rehearsal; but those that do make life worthwhile for the rabble.

    Zip’s diploma will have immense value. His is coming from the GT School of Understanding How To Get To Dullards. BS, MS, PhD. Summa bleeep Laude

    @jajd, i don’t think zipper and zonker are alike at all. when i first read the original zonker cartoons, i found him fun and entertaining - a true free spirit. with zipper it all goes sour. does anyone remember when zonker used to talk to flowers to encourage them to grow? or when he used to go scuba diving in walden puddle (diameter about 1’)?

    at different times, zonker had jobs. he wasn’t a complete mooch on society. he respected the fact that he had responsibilities.

    to me, zipper is almost a complete zero - say, 0.00001.

    OOOOOOOOOps, I hope I haven’t mixed up the names…………

    Zonk was also the star receiver for the Walden football team and a top level contender in world class tanning.
