"Cartoonist Tom Wilson's cartoon character speaks to everyone who's suffered a bad day, slipped up now and then, or spent time slogging through the rain showers of life."Ziggy has been taped to countless computers, tacked to thousands of school bulletin boards, and stuck on refrigerator doors everywhere. So it's only fitting that one of the planet's most popular cartoon characters pays a visit to the most famous community in the world-Hollywood. Ziggy Goes Hollywood is the latest collection of cartoonist Tom Wilson's legendary strip. The pudgy and prized little guy first landed on comics pages in 1971. Three decades later he is read by 75 million people worldwide each day. While Ziggy may be insecure, he is a beacon of hope to the masses who read him daily: His humorous hard luck reminds them to not take life too seriously. While things don't typically come easy for this adorable underdog, he always seeks out the bright spot, inspiring us all to do the same. Within its 128 pages, Ziggy Goes Hollywood captures dozens of those "you-can-say-that-again" moments that have made it legendary.

The charm of Ziggy is that he lives a sweetly simple life. Things often don't go his way, but he always perseveres and maintains his sunny outlook. Ziggy is Everyperson, the part of us that harbors warm feelings and good intentions but sometimes gets stepped on by a reckless world. In the great tradition of Ben Franklin, Roy Rogers, and Forrest Gump, Ziggy delivers his own homespun philosophy and retains his individualism and character, regardless of the transforming forces at work in a swiftly changing world. Since 1971, Ziggy has remained true to himself. The world has changed, and the topics addressed in the cartoon have changed along with it, but at his core, Ziggy himself has not changed. Readers wouldn't have it any other way. Comforted and inspired by his steadfastness, his tenacity, and his gentle spirit, Ziggy fans have been intensely loyal for over three decades-and that hasn't changed, either.Ziggy runs in more than 600 newspapers and reaches 75 million readers.

In Ziggy Comes Up Short, which features more than 40 weeks' worth of strips, Ziggy reminds us that even though we may find ourselves short on hair, pants, luck, or height, we are never without the ability to change perspectives, wade through life's gunk, and conquer triumphantly. Ziggy reminds us that even misadventure ends in adventure.
