Ladies & gentlemen, The Syllables!
"Serving Their Sentence," Saturday 19 September 2026 installment of Bill Griffith's Zippy. First panel Narrator: "The Beatles craze bypassed Dingburg in the 1960s. But when four residents saw 'A Hard Day's Night,' they were inspired to form The Syllables." Image of four Pinheads based on album covers of UK's With the Beatles & USA's Meet the Beatles! Second panel Narrator: "They became The Blab Four and adopted new names. From then on, they were Subject, Object, Verb and Diphthong." Subject: "I'm th' compound one!" Object: "I'm from Fresno!" Verb: "I'm punctual!" Diphthong: "I'm kind of tense!" Image of same four Pinheads based on Beatles VI album cover. Third & last panel Narrator: "When their debut album, 'Wordplay,' bombed, they tried to revive their careers by crossing the street in single file." Object: "I'm pronoun!" Diphthong: "What's a predicate?!" Image of same four Pinheads based on Abbey Road album cover.
