Wow, what a treat! I enjoy your column and am a proud Saturday Evening Post subscriber. Thanks Bob!
A T shirt in the making for me to buy and wear.
Postal Service sells one! https://store.usps.com/store/product/stamp-gifts/mr-zip-t-shirt-blue-P_843283
Quite the interesting history behind the character. I believe he first appeared in advertisements for a bank (Chase Manhattan?)
