Okay, so who was your favourite character from Rainbow?
Was it cynical Zippy, dopey George, or vaguely effeminate Bungle? Or Jeffrey, who was rumoured not to be a puppet, but a real person?

I can barely remember Rainbow...I do remember thinking it was damn weird though 
When you start seeing talking pink hippos, it usually means you've been inhaling the wrong type of fumes

Told you Zippy was a twat.
And that picture of Bungle is going to haunt me.

Bungle! Cos He/She/It reminded me of a nursery school teacher I had, back in the 60's. I don't THINK she was quite as hairy...but I was only 3!
I've never seen it, but I'm liking Zippy already.

Zippy was a one-handed, zip-mouthed package of spite. And we love him.
*is somewhat worried that Humberwitch's old nursery school teacher may still be at large*
Great link Cuff!! The Zippy profile is great!

| Zippy is, according to official sources, a 'Unique'. A unique what exactly, has never been fully explained. Suggestions have ranged from a frog, a snake, a hamburger to a space alien, even an S&M accessory (not to be confused with M&S where Geoffrey got most of his trendy 1970's tank tops and sweaters). |
The furry hamburger gets my vote!
I think I remember seeing in the newspapers about a year back that Jeffrey is now a mini cab driver.
I think Bungle is now a pole dancer and Zippy became a fur coat.

I figured it out Zippy was infact the b*****d offspring between the hamburgler and a smash robot.

Does anyone remember how early on it was customary to punish Zippy when he got out of order - which was pretty frequent - by zipping his mouth up?This was stopped after complaints by parents of traumatized children, something Julie
Burchill never fails to mention, which could explain....

Usually preceded by cries of, `That wasn't very nice, Zippy!'
Despite his admirable cynicism, Zippy was a bit of a thickie. Why didn't he just unzip himself?

It's terrible, isn't it. I know of at least one case of someone trying to look like Bungle.
I'm sorry to say that with the current vogue for having lumps of metal sticking out of various body parts, that I would not be at all surprised to come across someone looking like Zippy.
Ouch...thinking of those lips makes me pucker mine in a bad way.
