Just received Sketchbook 2 which is even more fun than the ZITS #1. Borgman and Scott are rounding out the family now, and dad is getting a bit more savvy, but mom is really coming out of her shell. I love the way she relates to Jeremy --- as though she can still remember how it was to be a teenager. Our local newspaper STILL hasn't picked up on running this excellent strip so let me know when Sketchbook 3 comes out.

A comic strip that's great fun. I haven't laughed this much to a comic strip since Calvin and Hobbes ended. I highly reccomend this to any humor fan (or anyone growing up with teens or is a teen).

Two reasons why I appreciate this strip so much: a) I vaguely remember being Jeremy's age and b) I have a son. Now he's in the Baby Blues age - one reason why I don't find that strip so funny - but I can sympathise with all the strip's characters. So I get amused, inspired and also touched. The stories are very human, they don't degrade any of the generations, they are well drawn. Book 2 is in every way as good as book 1. I hope it continues that way.

"Growth Spurt: Zits Sketchbook 2" is cute, but not as funny as the "Zits: Sketchbook 1." Still, this book is true to life and has a humorous outlook at teenagers. Great for a fan collecting this series. I recommend.

Zits is an entertaining comic strip. As with many comics, as you get to "know" the characters, the comics get funnier and funnier. You begin to anticipate what is really going on in Calvin's head, or what Peter Fox does without coffee in the morning, or... what happens when Jeremy's hormones start flowing.

If you ever get the opportunity to add something to a time capsule that won't be opened for 50-100 years, put this book inside. It will either be hilarious or mystifying to those future generations!

I agree with the sentiments expressed by a previous reviewer who suggests this strip is slowly cloaking itself in the all-conquering mastery of Calvin and Hobbes. Zits is exceptionally well thought-out and hardly a frame is wasted or a dud, and when was the last time you said that about a cartoon strip? Buy it now!

WOW.. I first turned to the first page and never laff so hard in a real-long time.. the two writers deserve everything for making this book and sketchbook one very worth buying! i hope this someday becomes a real life movie haha! ssj3
