Customer Reviews

A great strip, a great book!

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.

ZITS just keeps getting better

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

Just wonderful

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!

Great strip! One of my favorites!

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).

Second ZITS book tops the first!

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.
