The Cliff House completed its newest renovation in the Summer of 2004, six years after zippy visited the site. Things have changed. Today the look of the Cliff house itself is different. The view where Zippy was, is from
Sutro Heights Park looking down on the
Cliff House. From up in the park, it's hard to find the triangular peak showing in front of the Cliff House. The sheer cliffs across from the Cliff House are very steep and hard to climb. I found some old remains accessable from the top of the hillside, left from the Sutro mansion, which include a view of a rock in front of the Cliff House. The pictures are assorted views trying to reproduce the view that Zippy had in 1998.
I found this strip in the Zippy Annual collection and the image in the book is bigger than the image on the Zippy website. I scanned the larger image from the book and placed it on my website for comparison. This Sunday Strip features four different sights in San Francisco, California. The wording in the strip says "I left my pants in San Francisco", an obvious reference to the song, "I left my Heart in San Francisco".
The first pane features Zippy in a Sutro Heights Park overlooking the Cliff House.
The second pane features Zippy at the Powell and Market cable car turntable.
The third pane features Zippy looking at the Golden Gate Bridge from the Fort Point area.
The fourth pane shows a view of Alcatraz Island from the Hyde Street Cable Car.
