Summary: So true!!
Review: This book is the best. I mean it's like a teenage Calvin and Hobbes! It is so true and really relates to the real world and has a great funny charm to it. I definitely recommend buying it. I can't wait until more of these books come out!

Summary: This is the ultimate summit of cartooning art!
Review: Today, the cartoon characters are so often grotesque and dysfunctional. Not so in Zits! For the majority of us THIS is a refreshing, good old peek at humor with class, talent, and superb art. The reader can identify with Jeremy, his friends, his experiences, and the parents' perspective. It is a magical combination of first rate profound humor that we can all relate to with clearly unparalleled artistic expression.

Summary: Are these guys peeking in our windows!?!?!
Review: We read Zits in the L.A. Times. Our oldest boy is 13, he has a guitar; his best friend is Mexican-American and also plays the guitar and they are trying to start a band... It's all too eerie! We get such a kick out of this comic strip and when I saw that the first collection was out, I had to buy it. My boy opened it on Christmas day and since then it has become very dog earred, it's being thumbed through so much. Now maybe you make think this a bit too much praise, but I think that Jeremy and his world will could become the new Calvin & Hobbs, in terms of how we relate to it. If you've been following Zits in your daily paper, you know what I mean. If you haven't, buy this book. It really does rate 5 stars!

Summary: The Teen Years
Review: When a strip has a name as tasteful and enlightening as "Zits," you know it'll be a winner. And the third "Sketchbook" just came out!The absence of "Calvin and Hobbes" left a hole in the witty humor department for a very long time (the WP newspaper has replaced it with the abysmal "Boondocks") but Zits has an almost eerie similarity to it in structure--as well as the fact that Jeremy has a remarkable resemblance to a six-foot-tall Calvin. It's "Calvin: The Teen Years." Jeremy Duncan is a fifteen-year-old boy who lives in an average home in the suburbs. He tolerates his out-of-it-but-smart parents Walt and Connie, secretly longs for the unattainable Sarah (think of Susie at fifteen), and hangs out with best friend Hector (Hobbes has morphed into a Hispanic high-schooler with more wisdom than Jeremy can ever have). Jeremy is such an "ordinary" teenager that it's astounding. He longs to be dangerous and edgy, but only makes himself look weird in the process. His schemes and daydreams are funny and very realistic. Hector is the best friend we all want--he's wise, funny, interesting, and against his better judgement he always goes along with Jeremy. But this isn't a joke at the expense of the parents: Walt and Connie are almost as funny as their son. Though he thinks they are clownish pains, they are actually much smarter than he gives them credit for. "Un-chill" and passe, Connie has a biting wit and Walt a quiet wit. Parents will definitely sympathize. If you're an adult, you'll be transported back to your teenage years. If you're a teen, you'll nod in agreement.
