Continuing our travels with U.S. cartoonist Bill Griffith, who writes and draws “Zippy” in hundreds of newspapers around the world, including the Taipei Times and the Japan Times, a recent panel titled “Pacific Rim Shot” depicts a Taiwan-owned airlines called EVA AIRLINES, owned by the Evergreen Corporation, and famous for putting Hello Kitty on the side of the plane as it flies the skies between Japan and Taiwan, among other routes.

Griffith, who has always had a fascination with Asia, often places his cartoon characters in Japan or Taiwan, and in this recent panel, we can see the EVA Airlines plane and Zippy’s “dream,” as the cartoonist puts it.
