You may be looking for Zippy!, by Bill Griffith.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ziggy is a comic strip originally drawn by Tom Wilson. It is a one-panel strip on dailies, and a sequential on Sundays. The strip is a Long Runner, having run in newspapers since 1971. The strip focuses on the eponymous character, a human of some sort who lives at home by himself with his cat, dog, parrot and fish.

No Fourth Wall: In one strip, Ziggy addresses the reader, saying that if he or she thinks life is hard, he or she should try living in a 3×3½-inch panel.

Painting the Medium: If the letter "I" is used, it's always in lower case.

Walking Techbane: Many 1990s and 2000s gags deal with Ziggy's incompetence with the computer.

Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Okay, he's a human (supposedly), that's still an animal. But why doesn't he wear pants?! Or have a crotch? In December 2009, Pearls Before Swine addressed this issue in an arc in which Rat leads others in protesting Ziggy's pantslessness. Stephen Pastis gave Tom Wilson a heads-up about the issue, and the same week Ziggy broke with tradition and started wearing pants.

Totally Radical: Most of the pop culture references are already ages old by the time Ziggy gets around to covering them. His computer is depicted as being a late-1970s modular type (much like an Apple IIe).

Funny Animal: Ziggy's parrot talks to him regularly. It is also implied that the cat and dog can talk to him.
