The database for Zippy the Pinhead Real World locations starts about the year 2000. However, the creator of the comic, Bill Griffith has been featuring real world locations for much longer than that.
You can find locations in various annuals and other book collections dating way back.
The database itself is not perfect. Locations have been listed incorrectly or not at all. Several waymarkers have found locations that simply are not listed in any of the online resources using these other resources. These waymarks always impress me because they took some real research to find them.
The oldest waymark created is from a strip that ran on 04-07-1994
Luxor - "Drinks with the Sphinx" - Las Vegas, NV was posted by Go Boilers!. What an amazing find.
Next is this one from 05-16-1997 Transamerica Pyramid - Plus Ca Change - San Francisco, CA
