Ziggy on Parade: A Ziggy Collection

Things are looking up!

Ever feel down on your luck? Like the whole world is conspiring against you and nothing is going your way? Just look on the bright side—you're not alone.

For more than 35 years, the adorably optimistic and helplessly hapless Ziggy has been finding reasons to smile despite what challenges life sends his way.

From cartoonist Tom Wilson comes the endearingly luckless (yet remarkably hopeful) character's newest comic collection, Ziggy on Parade (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $12.95).

Ziggy, the hairless comic with an unshakably positive attitude, appears in more than 600 papers around the world and has captured the hearts of more than 75 million fans with his uncanny ability to turn even the most hopeless situation into an opportunity for personal growth. Ziggy's unending series of ill-fated events often mirrors our own lives and helps to shed some much-needed humor on everyday obstacles.

Ziggy on Parade proves that you don't need to be tall, wealthy, or even fully clothed to be happy, and serves as an inspiration to everyone who's ever felt like they were coming up a little, ahem, short.
