Zits en Concert: A Zits Treasury

Zits

by Jerry Scott, Jim Borgman

 

In their immensely popular comic strip Zits, Pulitzer Prize-winning artist Jim Borgman and writer Jerry Scott have succeeded in creating one of the most poignant, realistic, and funny portrayals of teenagers found in any medium today.

Sixteen-year-old Jeremy Duncan is a high school freshman and an aspiring musician. He daydreams about the day when his band, Goat Cheese Pizza, records their first monster hit single and they all pile into his van for their cross-country, sold-out concert tour. Between naps, study hall, and band practice, Jeremy still manages to find time to be the star of the hugely popular comic strip, Zits.


Jeremy is a good kid. He is intelligent and kind, yet he still has the attitude that one would expect from a teenager. His unpredictable mood swings and monosyllabic answers to his parents’ mild-mannered questions often leave them baffled and bemused.

The creators, who are parents themselves, have a keen insight into the many physical and emotional changes that teens go through during adolescence, and they have the gift of addressing these common dilemmas with compassion and humor.

Muito bom, mesmo! Algumas tiras são verdadeiras obras-primas!

Recomendado a quem tenha filhos adolescentes e precise de descomprimir!

Really, really good! Some strips are true masterpieces!

Recommended to those who have teenagers at home and need to unwind a little!

Zits books are totally enjoyable. I can picture 16 year olds doing so much of these antics but rarely captured in such comical humor. I only hope I was not quite this way when I was 16 though some of the scenes are a bit familiar.

And now I am a happy camper once again. Many a time I do wanna slap Jeremy around, though...

A fun twist on being a family with a teen, the book had plenty to laugh at. I enjoyed reading it with my 11-year-old daughter.
