5/5

I LOVE Zits! When I was young, my Sunday morning ritual involved spending time reading the comic section of the newspaper. I loved reading: For Better or For Worse, Beetle Baily, Haggar the Horrible, Broom Hilda, Baby Blues, Garfield, Dilbert and so many more. I would even collect the comic sections of the Sunday newspaper whenever I could. They made a big impact on my world, and I continued to have a soft spot for the style of short panel comics. The ability to tell a story or joke that has depth but also causes one to smile takes real talent.

Quick impressions: If you have enjoyed this series, you will most likely enjoy this one as well. The authors always catch the essence of being a teenager with an attitude stuck with parents who (he deems as) not cool. Amusing moments throughout, including Jeremy learning how to drive.

(Will review fully later on the blog)

I've always like the Zits comic strip, and recently I have been buying and reading all the Zits strip books. This one is really enjoyable. By #11 the characters have matured both in drawing and storylines, and anyone who enjoys Zits will really enjoy reading this book. The book itself while of course paperback, is well-made and joins a nice collection on my bookshelf!

They know how to write a good teenage/parent relationship that makes me giggle and holds true over the years (even if iPods aren't the new "it" thing anymore).

I love this comic strip! You get to visit the life of a average teenager and his parents who try to survive the trip! With a lot of clean humor, this is a great addition to your collection of humorous books.

There is not much to say about Zits. It's about a teenager's life and how he deals with his pairs and the conflicts with the parents and how his mom tries to hard to connect with him, bla bla

This one is also obviously about the time that he is practicing to get his car driver's license.

Love this compilation of my favorite comic strip.

SO funny! The only thing I didn't like was the messy, half-finished sketches at the beginning of some sections. They didn't correlate to the drawings in that chapter and they were just weird.

Hilarious. I really enjoyed this!
