Back in junior high and high school the cool kids knew
how to dance. I was not cool. I couldn’t dance. In fact, I was so clumsy I would trip over my
own shadow.
I can identify with Jeremy the star of the Zits comic
strip by Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman.
Dance
Like Everybody’s Watching (the latest Zits collection of daily
and Sunday comic strips) from Andrews
McMeel Publishing, continues the teenage adventures of Jeremy and his odd assortment
of friends and totally confused parents.
This time around Jeremy contends with hot flashes, school
closings, pizza, his dad’s singing, farms, long-range plans, finals, leftovers
and all sorts of everyday ups and downs as seen through the eyes of a teenager.
As a parent of two I remember my wife and I being in a constant
stage of bewilderment as our kids went through their teenage years.
Zit captures the impulsiveness, absurdity, confusion and exciting
time of being a teenager.
Every teenager and parent of a teenager can identify with
the plight of Jeremy and his parents.
