Book Description

Publication Date: March 20, 2001

If you thought being 15 was rough, trying being Jeremy Duncan. The teenage leading character of history's fastest-growing comic strip, Zits, has been stuck at age 15 for four years now. While Jeremy's age may not have advanced, the popularity of the strip has soared since its debut in July 1997. Today, the strip that highlights the trials and tribulations of the teenage experience boasts a circulation of more than 900 newspapers. The latest collection of the phenomenally successful strip is Are We An "US"? Zits Sketchbook 4. The honesty and humor of Zits appeals to anyone who has ever been 15 or is currently experiening the challenges of raising a teenager. Together with his friends and family, Jeremy humorously captures the baffling essence of adolescence perfectly. Whether he's trying to navigate the tumultuous waters of teenage relationships, enduring lame jokes by his dad, or hatching a road-trip scheme with his long-time best friend, Hector, Jeremy's plight leaves Zits readers young and old knowingly nodding their heads in recognition that they've been there themselves.

If you like Foxtrot, you will love the Zit's series. The book is hilarious and continues to follow with the life of Jeremy and his relationship with Sara. My brother should totally relate wit this guy, but it's a funny book from start to finish and I would highly recommend it.

This cartoon's collection is amazing! How can you pick a dull teenager and his friends with a normal dull life, for a teenager, and put such funny and amazing stories? It has to be J. Scott and J. Borgman, two very talented guys, who probably have some teens like this at home!
