Zonker: I'm really busy, Zipper. What's up? Zipper: Uncle Z, I'm sitting here with a friend from Wesleyan College... Zonker: Uh-huh... Zipper: And he says they have a holiday here named after you! Zonker: Named after me? Really? Zipper: That's what he says! Zonker: Sure he's not confusing me with Martin Luther King? Zipper: Hold on.

I’d like to have some of what Zipper and his buddy are smoking.

Zonker Harris Day, currently named “Ze Who Shall Not Be Named Day” because Wesleyan’s president has called the holiday stupid and banned funding for it, occurs every April 19.

Should be every February 30th!

Zonker Harris… Martin Luther King, Jr…. yeah, I can see the confusion.

California town has a Zonker day. What the heck would he be watching that keeps him so busy? Food network specials on munchies?

Two points: 1. The school is Wesleyan University. Wesleyan College is in Georgia. 2. Why April 19th?

Oh, and a third point: Love how Zonker claims to be busy as he has the remote in his hand, beer on one side, & popcorn on the other.

Hannukah? (April 19 would be Patriots’ Day, the day of Paul Revere’s ride; but snow is falling outside Zonker’s window and HE thinks MLK Day is approaching)

Watching TV on the couch with a beer and he’s “really busy”. HA! I love that guy!

Beer, popcorn, smart phone, snow falling - but no TV, no mention of a TV.
Why the assumption that that is what he’s doing? Maybe he’s texting or emailing, or anything else?

Zonker is the Great Pumpkin! Linus is standing outside his house stalking him.
