Why
is that all of us at one time in our lives are/or will be teenagers and yet
when we grow up and have kids of our own and they become teenagers we are
completely baffled by them?
Speaking
as a parent of two kids: one boy and one girl, who (thankfully are grown up) I dealt
with teenagers. I even taught high
school so I dealt with a plethora of teenagers of all temperaments and types.
Teenagers
are confusing, compulsive, contradictory in their behavior, sometimes callous
and always, always, a conundrum.
And
yet they can be the most loving, caring, thoughtful and compassionate people at
times. They drive you crazy!
For
20 years Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman have examined, sweat over and portrayed
teenagers with all their foibles, faults and strengths in their awesome ‘Zits’
comic strip.
The
star of the strip: Jeremy Duncan, is the perfect vehicle by which Scott and Borgman
were, and are, able to demonstrate the complexity and contradictions of a
typical teenager.
Join
Jeremy and his friends as they confuse their parents, confound their teachers and
offer insight into the minds of teenagers.
In
‘What Was That All About?’ the creative team offers readers the very best of ‘Zits!’
over the past 20 years and a very personal and up-front look at their own
lives.
Readers
will discover where the duo met, how they came up with the idea for ’Zits!’,
the teenagers in their own lives, the strips publishing history, its up and
downs and excerpts from their sketchbooks.
The
deluxe hardbound book with die-cut front panel, spotlighting Jeremy, is a real
treasure that ‘Zits!’ fans will love and cherish, from Andrews McMeel Publishing.
