My Bad: A Zits Treasury [Paperback]

Jim Borgman (Author), Jerry Scott (Author)

Book Description

Series: Zits Treasury | Publication Date: March 17, 2009

My Bad is filled with funny, genuine stories about life as--and with--a teenage boy. Taken from firsthand experience of successfully living through the teen years and now raising teenagers, Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman cross the minefield of all that teenagerhood holds. From questions, curiosities, and concerns, to hormones and insecurities, key character Jeremy, girlfriend Sara, and best buds Hector and Pierce make muddling through the day memorable.

* Everybody gets Zits because everyone has either been a teenager, is one, will be one, is raising one, or knows one. Maybe that's why this breakthrough work was named Best Newspaper Comic Strip in 1998 and 1999 by the National Cartoonists Society.

* Zits nabbed the Max and Moritz Award for Best International Comic Strip in 2000.

* Jerry Scott won the 2001 Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year.

* Jim Borgman took home the 1991 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning and he's the only cartoonist to win the National Cartoonists Society's Best Editorial Cartoonist Award five times. He also won the 1993 Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year.

* "Zits is being hailed as one of the freshest and most imaginative strips of recent years." --Los Angeles Times

5.0 out of 5 stars Treasury without Sketchbooks?, April 1, 2009

By 

David T (Phoenix, Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: My Bad: A Zits Treasury (Paperback)

Apparently they skipped the sketchbooks this time and went right to a treasury. This LOOKS like newer material. About time. Been waiting a long time for new stuff about the Zits gang. usually the Treasurys say "contains strips from X and Y". This one does not.

I actually prefer it this way so I get the colors without having to wait for 2 sketchbooks to be printed. Please don't make us wait so long next time!

5.0 out of 5 stars A compelling and fine gathering for any general library with Zits cartoon fans, August 20, 2009

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: My Bad: A Zits Treasury (Paperback)

Black and white and color panels from the Zits cartoon strip offer a few new gathering of strips and images in book format, charting the ongoing and dubious interactions between Jeremy and his family and friends. From a Father's Day admonition to 'live like a teenager' to funny friends, MY BAD is a compelling and fine gathering for any general library with Zits cartoon fans.

Having raised four teenagers I love reading the Zits books. Every one of them in one way or another was Jeremy!
