Summary: Great Comic Strip
Review: Humongous Zits is a compilation of the first two books of this comic strip. It starts out a little slow while the main characters are being introduced, but it soon catches its stride.Jeremy Duncan is a typical teenager just trying to live his life. His parents are on his back, he's got homework to avoid, his garage band isn't getting recording contracts, and he's awkward around the girl of his dreams. Needless to say, his life is anything but boring. The strip is written from Jeremy's point of view, which leads to some great sight gags as we see a situation through his eyes. The characters are slightly cartoonish but real enough for many years of great strips, and I look forward to enjoying it for years to come.

Summary: I totally love 'ZITS'
Review: I got ZITS from a friend who got it from another friend...i simply love ZITS because i can just feel what Jeremy feels and i love the humourousness of it..
almost all the kids go through what Jeremy goes through amd almost all the parents go through what his parents go through..
so i find this book sensibly funny. i like it so much that i can remember almost all the dialogs in it. my younger brother read it and he went crazy over it as well.
i had to return the book and i miss it. that's why i am doing this.
i want to thank the authors of this book for creating such a funny and a marvalous book.

Summary: Great!
Review: I love reading Zits every day in the paper. I think it is a humorous and realistic portrayal of the turmoil of your average suburban adolescant. Jeremy is a lovable teenager- clumsy, doesn't think things through, but he is also hardworking and loyal. I have always said that this author must have a teenage son at home! This collection starts from the begining of the strip, which I really enjoyed! This is both sweet and laugh out loud funny!

Summary: Zits: One of the best comic strips in the newspaper today
Review: I'm an avid reader of the "Zits" comic strip and bought this book to give to a friend. Thought I'd just glance at a few of the pages...loved it so much I had to keep this one and buy another one! Highly recommend it to anyone who has a teenager in the house. Hilarious!

Summary: Zits is a balm for those missing Calvin and Hobbes
Review: I'm not going to review the Zits comic strip itself. It's great. Enough said.
I did want to point out that the Treasuries are a much better value than the Sketchbooks. The treasuries have color and although they repeat the exact comics from the sketchbooks, they seem to pull out the best ones and showcase them... Unless you can spare the money for all the sketchbooks, go for the treasuries. By no means is it necessary to buy both.

Summary: Laugh-out-loud hilarious and dead-on accurate!
Review: Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman have created, with "Zits," a terrific comic strip. In "Humongous Zits," a collection of the strips, we see the day-to-day life of fifteen-year old Jeremy, whose mom is a writer and whose dad is an orthodontist. Scott and Borgman are dead accurate when it comes to depicting the speech cadence, attitude, manner of dress, etc., of a modern American teenage boy. Witness this conversation Jeremy has with his mother when Mom appears in the bedroom doorway with a plateful of cookies: Mom: "Jeremy, would you and your friends like some Snickerdoodles?"
Jeremy: "Feel free to embarrass me anytime, mom!"
Mom: "All I did was ask if you wanted some cookies! What's wrong with that??"
Jeremy: "I guess it isn't what you said, it's kind of how you said it."
Mom: "I said it in a perfectly polite way!"
Jeremy: "Okay, it isn't how you said it . . . It's that you sort of exist." For those of us who sorely miss Bill Watterson's "Calvin and Hobbes," "Zits" is a welcome treat--there are glimmers of Calvin in Jeremy. This is fun stuff!

Summary: Teenagers...ugh!
Review: Just like Jerry Scott's other parenting strip, "Baby Blues" is the equivalent of biting reality about such "cute, precious" little children and infants, "Zits" is about being a middled-aged parent especially with a very paunchy belly and thinning hair as well as having to put up with a very arrogant, vain, and hormone-driven creature like a teenager who is striving to be so independent he'd make an alley cat seem warm and lovable. But to be fair, this strip also shows a teenager's perspective of life in high school full of ruthless competition especially with grades, sports, and girls as well as at home ran by nagging, doting, and simply exasperating parents who just can't get over the very fact you'd just not their sweet, innocent little boy anymore. However, if you want a slightly more sympathetic view of teenagers, try "Luann" instead. Nevertheless, the very idea of having to live with teenagers is just one of many reasons why I chose not to have any kids in the first place.
