Interview with Zippy creator Bill Griffith
![Good thing Bill Griffith did not take Marcel Duchamp seriously. Otherwise, we'd be without Zippy (aka Zippy the Pinhead), the best-drawn daily underground comic strip in America, still running in 300 newspapers. Griffith, at the time a 19-year-old art student at the Pratt Institute, ran into Duchamp at a gallery hosting a retrospective by the venerable Dadaist.

The world needs more doctors than artists."](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2012-02/67913723-08093607.jpg "Good thing Bill Griffith did not take Marcel Duchamp seriously.

But blistering barnacles! — as his buddy Capt. Haddock would say — there's a secret inside about a long-lost pirate treasure. So Tintin sets out to find it, undeterred by goons with guns, crashes, explosions, cracks on the skull from behind.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-12/67034210-30143716.jpg "Director Steven Spielberg's "The Adventures of Tintin\" starts innocently enough — with Tintin, it always does — at a flea market, where the dauntless boy reporter finds an old model boat.
