"Get Ziggy With It!"
This is Ziggy. Kinda cute for a short little bald guy, isn't he? I fell in love with his comics as a teenager, even before I could truly understand half of the humor, and I still enjoy them today.

Who is Ziggy?
Ziggy appears to be a single white male with no job or hobbies. He lives at home with his pets: Fuzz, a small white dog; Sid, a cat afraid of mice; Josh, a discouraging parrot; Goldie, a fish; and Wack, a duck.
Ziggy seems to spend a lot of time in front of the TV, on the computer, at the diner and at his doctor's office.
He often finds himself in difficult situations and dealing with daily mishaps, but he somehow always comes through with a positive outlook.

- I am looking for the cartoon where Ziggy is at his desk and the "in" box has "all work" on it and the "out" box has "no play" on it. Too funny!
