An indispensible and entertaining manual for parents on the verge of having a teenager, by America’s favorite cartoon team.

In their award-winning comic strip Zits, artist Jim Borgman and writer Jerry Scott have succeeded in creating one of the most poignant, realistic, and funny portrayals of a teenager found in any medium today. Parents themselves, Borgman and Scott have learned a thing or two along the way in their creative and family lives. The result is A Zits Guide to Living with Your Teenager.

A combination of select Zits comic strips depicting the relationship between teenager Jeremy Duncan and his parents, Walt and Connie, and witty, knowing, and dead-on commentary from Borgman and Scott, A Zits Guide to Living with Your Teenager is an indispensible and entertaining manual for parents on the verge of having a teenager.

Zits has twice been honored with the award for Best Newspaper Comic Strip by the National Cartoonists Society and received the "Max and Moritz" award for Best International Comic Strip in 2000.

The Story: An indispensible and entertaining manual for parents on the verge of having a teenager, by Americaâ€™s favorite cartoon team.

In their award-winning comic strip Zits, artist Jim Borgman and writer Jerry Scott have succeeded in creating one of the most poignant, realistic, and funny portrayals of a teenager found in any medium today. Parents themselves, Borgman and Scott have learned a thing or two along the way in their creative and family lives. The result is A Zits Guide to Living with Your Teenager.

The Review: This pocket-sized anthology of selected Zits comic strips spanning its almost thirty-year history are depictions of the various challenges that a parent will face when they come into contact with a most vexing animal: the teenager.

It’s interesting…ComicWorm had been reading Zits as a teenager and now as an adult. In a lot of ways, he can still relate to the sixteen/seventeen-year old Jeremy Duncan. The feelings of confusion, isolation, and wariness about the future are just as relevant to a twenty-something as to a teenager. Those feelings never really go away, you just develop better techniques at handling them.

This may also explain the rise of Young Adult fiction and why so many adults read it. Those books, as well as this comic strip, deals in themes that are relatable, no matter what side of the adolescent bridge you are on.

Also because the comic strip is just so darn funny! The artists never miss a chance to take full advantage of the fact that this a cartoon and utilizes it to the fullest potential. Exaggerated faces, exaggerated proportions, exaggerated scenarios…a whole lot of exaggeration to be honest. That is what makes the whole escapade so darn entertaining. Funny enough to laugh at but still grounded enough to add some solace. To let the reader shake their head and say: “been there…”

The biggest flaw ComicWorm has with this book is that honestly…it is far too short. Some of the first books ComicWorm has ever owned have been newspaper comic anthologies and there are among his favorites. What ComicWorm especially likes are the little snippets of creator commentary that are found in special editions. While not precisely built in that same manner, there are still many nuggets of insight that enrich and add a little subtext to the comic strip.

Final Verdict: People have long written off newspaper comics as pointless drivel devoid of meaning. They fail to recognize the incredible wisdom and wit that can be found in admittedly bite-sized portions of art and writing. This little book can serve as perfect gift for a parent of a teenager or someone who just loves comic strips.

With 4 teenaged grandsons (after 3 sons of my own) Zits is one of my favorite comic strips. This book, not a book of old comic strips, but a message to parents of teens, is fabulous!! When I read the description, I wasn't sure it was what I wanted, but having received it and read it, it's perfect! It will make a perfect gift to my children raising their own teen sons now!

This book is a very funny look at the parental hazards involved when living with a teenager.

The book is small enough to be easily portable, but large enough that you don't strain your eyes trying to read the fine print. (It fit into my purse.) The pages are slick and pleasant to the touch, and the colors are bright and vibrant. All of my friends have enjoyed reading this book, especially the ones who are currently living with teenagers.

This book provided me with a very pleasant introduction to the "Zits" comic strip. Now that I've been exposed, I'll be looking for additional books to add to my collection.

Funny little book about teens

Now that I have a teenager of my own, I can relate to Zits more than ever! This is a cute little book, especially good to give as a gift to parents of a "new" teenager. Please note this is NOT a typical full-size Zits collection, full of a couple hundred comic strips. This is a small, hard-covered book with about 40 comics, each in color with a caption underneath. My husband and I both laughed out loud at several of the comic strips.

An amusing source of advice from one parent (the author, a non-professional in the field of giving advice on how to deal with teenagers) to another (me, the reader.) My child is a "tweener", showing some signs of what is listed.

Always have enjoyed Zits, but should have looked at this book closer. It is a small (~6"x6") hard cover book with about 24, one page illustrations. Maybe fun as a gift book to someone with a new teenager, but really not something for the collector

Is that a smile or a grimace? Probably both.

Mr. Borgman has obviously experienced the thrill-a-minute roller-coaster ride that is life with Homo sapiens teenagerus. He just nails it all. I recommend this collection and his other folios to anyone who is a teenager, will be a teenager, was a teenager, and especially to those of us who are currently in the trenches of raising a teenager.

I am so pleased with all the Zits humour books. Everyone can relate whether it's how you were, what your experiencing now or what you will be faced in the future. If I need a laugh this is what I pick up. Another winner.

Not as Described

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on April 17, 2010

Verified Purchase

This is the only item I have ever been disappointed with that I have purchased from Amazon. It is NOT 80 pages as described. It is 40 pages including the blank ones at the front and back of the book. There are ONLY 37 cartoons each one taking two pages. They are current having recently appeared in our local newspaper. I have most of the ZITS treasuries and this small book is truly a disappointment for any fan. I'd like to return it. Anyone want one for $1? What a waste of money.
