This is awesome! I just read this to a friend and his 10-year-old son and then shared it. I love how you describe Mr. ZIP as a “jauntily drawn postman.” 😊

Quite the interesting history behind the character. I believe he first appeared in advertisements for a bank (Chase Manhattan?)

Exactly! Briefly used and then reintroduced by the post office, so he's a hair over 60! :)
