Free Peace, Love & Wi-Fi: A ZITS Treasury Ebooks Online
The Los Angeles Times calls Zits "one of the freshest and most imaginative comic strips." The world of sixteen-year-old Jeremy Duncan revolves around his insatiable "growing boy" appetite, lip-locking with squeeze Sarah, keeping his jerry-rigged vehicle roadworthy, and playing with his band, Goat Cheese Pizza. Somewhere in the background, he's vaguely aware of some muted voices, constantly beseeching him to pick up his Matterhorn-sized clothes pile, to be home on time (so lame!), and to (God forbid!) communicate with them. The disembodied voices are those of Connie and Walt, his mostly patient, but sometimes frustrated to exploding, parents. In Zits, they portray a hilarious view of coping with a teenager and with being a teenager. Created in 1997 by Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Jim Borgman and Reuben Award-winning cartoonist/writer Jerry Scott, Zits appears in more than 1,600 newspapers worldwide in 45 countries and is translated into 15 different languages. The comic has an estimated daily readership of more than 200 million readers.

The content, as always, is good (if you liked Scott & Borgman's work before, you'd like it just as much now), but I'm not fond of the new format of this book (or the new Baby Blues book just out, also partially by Jerry Scott - though I'm sure it's not down to his decision so much as that of the publishers).The "8.5' x 11'-ish page with only two strips to a page for $19.00" is less appealing to me than the old "9' x 8.5' page with three strips to a page for $15.00" format that was used by most comic strip collections. I'm not entirely sure that the new format is worth the new price point, comparatively.Certainly, it's a nitpicky thing and has nothing to do with the strips themselves - which are, as noted, very good as always - but it is something that bothered me in this case.If you've liked the chronicles of Jeremy, Pierce, etc. to this point, you'll be happy to have another volume to peruse though.
As a father of three boys I always laugh my guts out at Zits. I figured after so many books the authors would be pretty exhausted of anything fresh, but bought the book anyway just because. I was wrong. These guys GET it. It's their best yet.
I bought this for my teenage son who loves it so much he reads it over and over.Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman never seem to fail to come up with new material that is just as funny as the old. They keep up with the current times and they speak to a wide variety of audiences (kids and parents alike).Our whole family can't wait for the next one coming out in a few days. It sounds awesome!
So glad to see a Zits book for the Kindle. Formatted well and very easy to read. Great humor on the pitfalls and fun of raising a teenager in this highly technical world. You will laugh out loud when you find yourself or your kids on these pages. Enjoy!
The content is fine, Zits is one of my favorite comics but I am not satisfied with the way that the cost of the book has gone up and the number of pages and cartoon panels has been reduced drastically. At this time there are only two panels per page and there used to be three and part of the time the Sunday comic is figured to take up two pages for one cartoon. I have all of the treasuries but at this rate I may have to stop making this purchase every year. I can read it on line for free.
Not as great as other collections. Fewer story lines and more one off strips gives this collection less depth than earlier collections.
this is a slice of life strip for many. i share this with friends who are parents of teens, and they often say it is too subtle...
If you have or every had teenagers, this book will make you think someone has been watching your family. It is poignant, hilarious, and absolutely down to earth without being preachy.
