You may be looking for Ziggy, by Tom Wilson.Zippy the Pinhead (or Zippy th' Pinhead or simply Zippy!) is a syndicated comic strip written by Bill Griffith. Zippy first appeared in "Real Pulp Comix" #1 (March, 1971) and went on to appear in Underground Comics, later adapted into a comic strip in 1976. In 1986, a deal between Griffith and King Features ensured much greater distribution than before.It might be the strangest comic strip ever published in newspapers, and that's saying a lot for a medium that gave birth to Krazy Kat, The Far Side (and its various copycats), and more recently, Liō. Its drawing style, realistic and intricate and yet otherworldly, would not have been out of place in the early days of Newspaper Comics. The writing itself is a string of non sequiturs and dreamlike scenarios, with no real punchlines in the traditional sense. |

Companion Cube: Zippy talks to the above roadside memorabilia. They talk back to him. One particular statue, the muffler-holding Muffler Man, was a major recurring character. |

Animated Actors: A 2015 story arc reveals that Zippy has been played all these years by an actor. The actor quits from exhaustion at spouting all that surreal nonsense and Griffy auditions a number of replacements. |

comment |
Recursive Canon: The Dingburg strips are revealed to be the fictional creation of the in-universe Griffy, as a result of his obsession with Zippy and the other pinheads. God has referred to it as real, but he has been explicitly stated as being an idea. Mr. The Toad has also managed to worm his way into Griffy's work, and thus into Dingburg. |

Strong Family Resemblance: Zippy's two identical children, Fuelrod and Meltdown. Uncanny Family Resemblance: Zippy, Zerbina, his Evil Twin, and his numerous relatives who all dress or look almost exactly like Zippy, despite having completely different personalities from the lackadaisical Zippy, with a few tertiary sexual characteristics and Limited Wardrobe accessories to tell them apart. |
