For the first time in nearly 70 years, Zippy meets her creator, Joseph T. Dick. 💙 💛 In 1953, Joseph gave life to 'Zippy,' also know as 'Mr. Zip.' It wasn't until later that the zipper's likeness to a pouch, unique to female kangaroos, was acknowledged. This sparked a case of mistaken identity, birthing the female mascot we cherish today. 🦘 A special thanks to director Alexander Guyton for this heartwarming video. To delve into Joseph T.
