I like Zit's, but it's scandalous that this and other Andrews McMeel books don't specify overlapping content. Sunday strips are colored. That aside, Crack of Noon contains nothing other than the contents of Thrashed and Pimp My Lunch. I wasn't happy to learn that I spent (not counting S&H) over $17 for what I could have had for $11.

I have all the Zits' treasuries, and while I enjoyed this latest one, have to admit that it was the least entertaining of the bunch. Some of the jokes are retreads of previously done jokes from other books, and unlike previous collections there weren't any strips that segued together to form a storyline. I was also disappointed to see so many one panel strips, like Family Circus.

Entertaining, but not as good as previous compilations.

If you're a parent, this book is for you. This book is going to help you find out what your teenager is thinking, and how they think.

If you're a teenager, this jokes in the strips strike so close to home it's impossible not to laugh. For example, having high school fantasy about girls, or guys, or teachers!

I think every teenager and parents can relate to Zits. It's almost like a documentary, told in panels, to the point of déjà vu.

I also love the art drawn by Jim Borgman as well.

I've all series of Zits treasuries, and will buy if there are more in the future.

This particular book contains comics from the two individual books, Thrashed and Pimp My Lunch.

(Check out my Amazon profile for other books I've reviewed.)

If you have a 15 year old son (or know someone who does) you'll think the authors have you (or them) on cadid camera. So many times my husband and I looked at each other AFTER we finished laughing as if to say, "that just happened here!".

We used to clip the comic strips to send to our son when he was in college. Turns out his roommates' parents were clipping them and sending them, too!

Now that he is a recent graduate and living far away from home, he still gets a few clippings from time to time.

This book is wonderful when you need a laugh!

This is a great compilation of Jeremy's antics and that of all his friends who thrive to drive parents to the edge. It's hilarious as always, and anyone with a teenage son can relate to the moods and to the parents' frustration. It's fun and quick reading and when you get to the end, you beg for more. The wit and sarcasm is classic Zits.
Another fabulous book by Jerry Scott!!!

I agree with the previous comment. I LOVE Zits, but have spent a fortune and waaaay too much time, trying to make sure my sons have each issue
without duplicating them. Each collection needs to clearly indicate on the front which sketchbooks are contained therein - only a few of them do this.

I love Zits comics! I always read them in the newspapers and laugh out loud! Hope the authors will keep them coming!

I feel that this copy of Zits really distresses me by making me laugh so hard. I reminded me of the things my parents would say to me when I was his age. Good book!

Thanks for the warning on the overlap. I am getting a little tired of that.
