Ziggy Comes Up Short

Ziggy Comes Up Short is a 2008 one-shot comic from Andrews McMeel, expanding the long-running newspaper strip universe of the hapless everyman Ziggy. Written and drawn by series creator Tom Wilson, this single issue offers a concentrated dose of the character's signature optimism in the face of life's small, absurd frustrations. It matters as a compact, standalone snapshot of the gentle, gag-driven humor that has defined Ziggy for decades.
