On the Zippy website, there is a guide to understand the strip. Supposedly, you can get the gist in 6 easy lessons. But, as the site points out in a Mark Twain quote, "Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog---the procedure kills both."
Also, on the website, you can take a roadside tour to places Zippy has visited. Since I am living in Illinois, I checked that out and only found three strips.
1. The giant 62 foot Abraham Lincoln by Charleston, made by the same folks who brought you Fairchild the Gopher who graces the Minnesota State Fair.
2. Superman in Metropolis.
3. An elephant sipping a dry martini wearing dark glasses, but didn't say where it was.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
