No, doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Zippy.
To cite the Classic CIDU Question, what’s the joke?

M is for the Many
With considerable forethought, Chemgal sent this in when it appeared, last July!
There is a motherlode of Mothers Day cartoons from Foxtrot collected at their website, of which we will sample just a couple.
This first one was featured by Bill on CIDU in 2018:
This “Breakfast in Bedlam” strip seems to be from 2001:
