Painting a Room Purple Nipple,

This review is from: You're Making That Face Again: Zits Sketchbook No. 13 (Paperback)
YOU'RE MAKING THAT FACE AGAIN is the 13th "Zits" Sketchbook featuring the lovable Duncan clan: Dad Walter, Mom Connie, and their crazy teenage son Jeremy. The strips featured in the book ran in newspapers from July 2008-April 2009. "Zits" is more of a gag-a-day strip, but it does occasional feature a short running story or a weeklong themed strip. A few of the stories in the book include Jeremy and Becker dating, Walt fixing the Internet, Jeremy getting a math tutor, Jeremy and his mom painting his bedroom, and a week where Walt and Jeremy are left alone as Connie visits her sister. Some of the themed strips include the Field Guide for Encountering the Teenager in Its Natural Habitat, Field Guide for Encountering the Grownup in Its Natural Habitat, 101 Things You Should Do Before You're 16, and Usually Means. YOU'RE MAKING THAT FACE AGAIN is a good range of comics of what "Zits" does best.

This review is from: You're Making That Face Again: Zits Sketchbook No. 13 (Paperback)
Zits is my new favorite, since Fox Trot stopped making daily strips. The hilarity comes in all forms, from subtle adolescent references, to laugh out-loud silliness, all which bring back some memory from our own adolescence! Jeremy is your typical male teenager, who manages to occasionally bring home an essence of a lesson hidden within the humor, without being "preachy" about it. Each day brings some new humous event, and this book brings them all together in one portable package!
However, from now on, I think I will opt for the larger "Treasury" books, as they contain more comics(usually from the previous two "Sketchbooks"), which seems to make more economical sense to me, plus the fact that your reading enjoyment is extended. It only took me couple of night of browsing to finish this little treasure. In my view, the more comics, the better, the bigger the book, all the better.

HILARIOUS,
January 7, 2011 A&D (New York, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: You're Making That Face Again: Zits Sketchbook No. 13 (Paperback)
This cartoon book will make you laugh, laugh, laugh! It's so funny! the authors and illustrators do know how the teenagers and their parents interact,what problems there are and how funny situations there can be.
This book starts with the difficulties of teenagers getting up... It's Saturday, no matter how much noise you make you can't get your teenage son to wake up. Then suddenly, he wakes up and is looking for food!
And when the teenager is missing for 5 hours at a time you start wondering where he is, is he in trouble or brooding over something... and when you go to find out where he is, he has been taking a shower for the past 5 hours!
Teenagers in love is another popular theme in this book. How they don't talk, just stare and how the other people react to their love around them.
