Book Description

Series: Zits Sketchbook | Publication Date: September 1, 2000

In Zits, countless readers relish Jim Borgman and Jerry Scott's right-on look at teenage life, as told through the eyes of perpetually ambivalent, yet lovable, teenager Jeremy Duncan. Here's a 15-year-old kid who seems to speak for teenagers everywhere, even if it's with a withering look or a nonchalant shrug. As Jeremy himself might say: "Adolescence bites!"

Zits has attracted an enormous following of fans, teenagers and adults alike. This Zits sketchbook, Don't Roll Your Eyes At Me, Young Man!, warmly chronicles the growing pains of the Duncan household and follows Jeremy as he navigates his way through his perpetual freshman year of high school. Caring, funny, impatient, self-absorbed, and bored silly, Jeremy is the charming essence of adolescence today.

This is a fantastic book! It has a bit more of a mature style, so I don't recommned this for children under thirteen. It would also help if you are or have been in highschool. This is one of the best Zits i have ever read!!! If you get a Zits treasury then get this one!

As other people have mentioned, Zits feels like what we'd expect Calvin and Hobbes to be like if it had "grown up". I wasn't sure about the strip when it debuted, but it's really come into its own as the artists have refined the characters. Jeremy is a "typical" teenager, with the usual problems - dating, school, trying to start a band. Fairly stock stuff, but the characterizations are perfect - from his parents, who are somewhat at a loss as to how to raise him, to his best friend Hector, who tolerates him even though he's a dufus sometimes. Everyone is realistic (for a strip), no charicatures. His parents aren't oblivious (when he takes to calling his dad "walt" in more recent strips, his dad argues it, then pulls out a nickname from when Jeremy was a baby, and it stops right there). His friends let him know when he's being a jerk... It's all the funniest things about being a teenager, and pulled off wonderfully.

What a fantastic collaboration between writer and artist such as exists with Scott & Borgman. The odd-ball expressions Borgman puts on Jeremy's face are priceless but the real star is Mom, sharp tongued, to the point, and yet so gullible. Thanks for lots of laughs, guys!
