Big Honkin' Zits [A Zits Treasury]

Collecting the first three years of the beloved newspaper strip Zits, this 2001 treasury from Andrews McMeel captures the chaotic, hilarious world of teenager Jeremy Duncan and his perpetually bewildered parents. Written by Jerry Scott and illustrated by Jim Borgman, the series earned its reputation by nailing the awkward, messy, and often hilarious reality of modern adolescence—from driver's ed to the ever-present battle over the family fridge. As the first collection of a strip that would become a syndication powerhouse, this volume matters because it established the warm, relatable voice that made Zits a defining comic of the 2000s.
