Griffith was a prominent cartoonist in the Underground Comics movement based out of San Francisco in the late 1960s , and along with Art Spiegelman , Griffith co-founded the comics anthology '' Arcade ''. "Zippy" made his first appearance in the Underground comic, "Real Pulp #1" (1971). The often-used catch phrase, "Are we having fun yet?" was credited to Griffith in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, Sixteenth Edition, 1992. The one-row format Zippy strip debuted in the Berkeley Barb in 1976 and continues in weekly newspapers to this day. The daily Zippy strip (syndicated by King Features to over 200 newspapers worldwide) started in 1986. Griffith co-created (with cartoonist Jay Kinney in 1970) the best-selling Underground comic series, "Young Lust". He has also contributed comics and illustrations to the National Lampoon, High Times, The New Yorker, the Village Voice and the New York Times, among others. Zippy books and comics are currently published by Fantagraphics Books in Seattle WA. QUOTES
