Customer Reviews

Calling all mothers

I am a mother of 5 grown children with grandchildren in their twenties, and I devour ZITS. This kid is SO funny. The thing I noticed is it is multigenerational, because at 70 years of age, I can remember many of the same attitudes and situations when I used to think my parents didn't know anything. Truly a hilarious look at LIFE from a perspective that crosses age and sex lines to appeal to everyone.

Teenagers to a "T"

Whenever I visit my grandson, all I can think of is ZITS. I find the cartoonist amazing and wonder how he manages to spy on all the homes with teen boys. Great chuckles.

Zits cartoons

These books were Christmas presents for my grandchildren. They arrived quickly and were in excellent condition.

Laughter Abounds

I've read all the anthologies, and this one ranks as one of the top-two for the series. There are many enjoyable subplots and less individual strips that were missing from the last collection, and caused the previous anthology to be a cut below par. Enjoy!
