"Zippy" is absolutely hilarious, charming, and touching. I laughed out loud many times. I finished reading it in about 24 hours, as the book is really more of a series of short childhood vignettes than it is a straight-out biography. And oh...check out the photo on page 192. I hate to admit it, but when I was a teenager, I had the same poster hanging on the wall in my bedroom. I remember part of what it said, which began "Hi, I'm a pet poster..." and with the popularity of pet rocks then, why not a pet poster? ;)
