Zippy Chippy

The whole world has high expectations for Zippy Chippy, as this racehorse comes from a truly royal lineage. His long family tree is filled with glorious ancestors. Zippy, on the other hand, prefers to take his time on the racetrack – following the motto: The journey is the destination. In fact, he turns out to be a lively character. He enjoys playing pranks and has a weakness for peppermint candies. Yet, despite always finishing last, Zippy Chippy, with his lovable and stubborn nature, becomes the people's champion. Artie Bennett tells the story based on true events in the amusing tone of a racing professional. Dave Szalay captures Zippy Chippy's eccentric character with his relaxed drawing style. Together, they have created a tribute to a horse that is already legendary today.
