A Zippy with a distressed — defective, damaged, rejected, and in fact delusional — statue:
In this I hear the echo of Isaiah 53:3, as we hear it in Handel’s Messiah:
He was despised and rejected, a man of sorrow and acquainted with grief.
But I have a question about the artwork. Bill Griffith is scrupulous about such things, so the work depicted in the strip is almost surely a real sculpture. Anyone recognize it?
