Ziggy  is an American  cartoon  series about an eponymous character who suffers an endless stream of misfortunes and sad but sympathetic daily events. It was created by  Tom Wilson, a former  American Greetings  executive, and distributed by  Andrews McMeel Syndication. In 1987, his son Tom Wilson II took over writing and drawing the comic strip. 

Ziggy, nameless at his conception, has been visible in some form or another since the mid-1960s.  Greeting card  writer Tom Wilson first drew a Ziggy-like character as an  elevator operator  offering political commentary in  editorial cartoons, but no one would  syndicate  it. Ziggy eventually appeared in an  American Greetings  gift book,  When You're Not Around  (1968) which caught the eye of Kathleen Andrews, a founder of the fledgling startup  Universal Press Syndicate, which badly needed a popular comic to keep it afloat. A deal was struck, a name was given, and Ziggy was born. The strip began in 15 newspapers in June 1971, and that number eventually grew to over 600 publications. A Sunday strip premiered on April 1, 1973. In 1987, after years of preparation, the strip was taken over by Tom Wilson's son, Tom Wilson II. Tom Wilson I died on September 16, 2011, at the age of 80. His son continues to produce the strip as of 2022.
