Supersized

Zits Treasury #3

by Jerry Scott, Jim Borgman

Fifteen-year-old Jeremy Duncan is bored with school. His mom talks his ear off. His dad's jokes are lame on a world-class level. But while Jeremy may believe much of his life is a big yawn, parent and teen readers of the comic eagerly embrace the real-life humor and clever stories of Zits.

A compilation of Zits Unzipped and Busted!, Super-Sized marks the third anxiously awaited treasury of the hilarious trials and tribulations of Jeremy and a dynamic cast of characters that includes girlfriend Sara, best-friends Hector and Pierce, and parents Connie and Walt.

Picked this up from a free library a few towns over, having liked the comic strip when I read the newspaper more frequently as a teen. Still pretty funny, though with some mostly dated humor. Altogether enjoyable.

I love the Zits comic strip and have been collecting all of the books in the series. Truth be told, I prefer the more traditional comics books that reprint each strip of the series in chronological order, but for some reason Zits got away from that in favor of these larger size thematic "treasury" type books. I sure enjoyed Supersized even it if repeated some strips from other books. The large size books may be hard to hold, but make for easy reading. In this volume the Jeremy character continues to mature and there are many full color strips reprinted here. I found myself laughing aloud many times. This is a great collection any fan of Zits will much enjoy!

So-so humor. Nothing outstanding or terrible, either. The dental humor was probably the best part.

Jeremy loathed his parents' mundaneness, and sometimes they disparaged it, too, but other times, they seemed to enjoy it and life. That, I thought, was one of the best parts - them enjoying the normalcy of their lives.

Sometimes I feel guilty (? that's too strong a word) about reading this teen humor because the teens I've known have behaved better on so many levels. But, on the other hand, there is hope for continuing maturity and positive changes, too.

Almancam için okuduğum bir çizgi roman. Güzel espriler vardı. Konu bütünlüğü yok, genellikle 4’er kareden oluşan küçük hikayeler var.

I love these books.

I began reading reading this comic series a little after my teenage years. The series grabbed me because I was able to empathize with Jeremy. Hysterical parents, relationship-issues, social insecurities, and the list goes on. Although this is a comic book, beyond its comic surface, "Zits" tackle real life issues that audiences of most ages would be able to relate to.

A Zits Treasury 03: Supersized by Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman (Andrews McMeel Publishing 2003) (741.5973) is every bit as funny as the other collections. My rating: 6.5/10, finished 4/4/11.

Very funny, they accurately portray the life of an average teen. Very easy to read and a lot of fun.

[Ross Vincent · Rating 4 out of 5]

Life with a Teenage Boy. The non-stop eating. The sleeping late. The angst of first break-ups, rebound girls, new friends and teachers that do hate you...

[Amy Vandenbroucke · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love this cartoon.

The usual Zits 5-star review. The. Best. Comic. Strip. Ever.
