Mention the comic strip Zits to teenagers or their parents and they'll eagerly launch into a long list of their favorite stories and strips that made it to the refrigerator door, making Zits the most effective form of communication between parents and their teens since the Post-it note. It's a phenomenon that takes place daily all over the world as teens and their parents thrust the latest exploits of Jeremy and his parents in front of each other and say, "This is so you!"This latest collection contains the story of Jeremy and Hector's surefire moneymaking summer koi pond digging business, the e-mail breakup between Sara and Jeremy, and over 200 more of this "essence of adolescence" comic strip. Busted! marks the eighth collection of the strip, which now appears in more than 1,000 newspapers worldwide.

More classics. No surprises here - if you have or have had teenagers you will recognize each agonizing moment. A few "pre sketches" which are interesting to see the cartoonist's way of working. Otherwise simply a compilation of the strips seen each weekend in the Sunday papers. Be warned if you follow them each week you may have seen these before. However they are magic - catching the angst and bathos of parents with teenagers. I am not sure how teenagers will take this - will they be self aware enough to recognize themselves. Might be worth a try if they feel they are the only ones to agonize over a zit, the first date, first bust up - the driver's test...

Zits is an amazingly accurate potrayal of teenage life and the relationship between teens and their parents. I should know. I am one. It is laugh-out-loud funny and it will be appreciated by parents, teens and anyone in between. A great gift for that teenage niece that owns everything. I would defnitely recommend it.
