Bill Griffith

Cartoonist Bill Griffith traveled to Cuba last fall, which became the inspiration for "Cuba Uncovered", a month long series of Zippy strips on the Cuban situation. He created the strip over 25 years ago; it is currently syndicated in over 200 newspapers. Griffith is also one of the cartoonists interviewed in the new documentary, "Crumb."

Comic strip artist Bill Griffith talks about the impact of the war on his daily strip, Zippy. Griffith is surprised that other comics like Beetle Bailey haven't also addressed the conflict.

Bill Griffith's comic strip character Zippy appears in alternative and mainstream newspapers nationwide. Fresh Air host Terry Gross describes Zippy as a hulking, pop culture and somewhere between the age of 14 and 35.
