OK Will you people stop complaining about overlapping content? Get it through your head: They release sketchbooks. They bundle them two at a time in the Treasuries. Here's how it works out, seeing as I gotta spell it out for you:

Humungous Zits - Sketchbooks #1 and #2
Big Honking Zits - Sketchbooks #3 and #4
Zits Supersized - Sketchbooks #5 and #6
Random Zits - Sketchbooks #7 and #8
Crack of Noon - Sketchbooks #9 and #10

Once they release the 12th sketchbook, another treasury will be created that contains Sketchbooks #11 and #12. Also, if you look at the page numbers, a sketchbook is 128 pages. A Treasury, containing 2 sketchbooks, is 256 pages. To all those who ended up spending more, tough luck.

The whole comic is about a fifteen-year old trying to go through life, constantly being "tortured" by his nagging mom and nerdy dad. Actually, his parents are really trying to help him, but Jeremy (the fifteen-year old) keeps saying that they can't connect with him simply because of their ages. The cartoonists love to keep pointing out how much of an idiot Jeremy is in some strips, how much his friends influence him, and sometimes how stupid his parents are when it comes to some things. This is a great comic book for all ages and I hope that it becomes as good as Dilbert is right now.

If you look at the back of "Crack of Noon" by the UPC bar code it says "Includes cartoons from 'Thrashed' and 'Pimp My Lunch'" "Crack of Noon" is the collection those two books are included in. All of the larger books of Zits are collections.

I own all of the Zits books, and I love them all! Being a teenager myself, I can identify with a lot of what happens in the strip, and I imagine that parents of teens feel the same way. Always fun to read, so go buy all the Zits books!

A note about the reviewer who gave this 1 star: all of the bigger Zits books (the treasuries) contain the material from two of the smaller books (the skechbooks). I think most people would figure that out, though. Just too bad it had to lower the overall rating!

The loveable, frustrating, and bright kid keeps mom uptight and dad bewildered constantly. Except for his incredibly sloppy bedroom you just have to love him.
Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman must be teenagers themselves to understand Jeremy and his buddies so well. Are they?

We are parents to a just-teen teenager.

I can't help but to relate the book to real-life experiances, and you just can't help but to laugh at them. Good therapy.

If you have younger kids, I recommend the Baby Blues series.

I like Zit's, but it's scandalous that this and other Andrews McMeel books don't specify overlapping content. Thrashed and Pimp My Lunch contain nothing other than the contents of Crack of Noon.

I wasn't happy to learn that I spent (not counting S&H) over $17 for what I could have had for $11. Also, in Crack of Noon, the Sunday strips are colored.
