Comment from Paul Manton
Another minor masterpiece, deserving of six stars - but not available on Fridays! Enjoyed this as as much as all the others, Brett, and good to get to read about 'Zits' at last - though I think I agree with Schultz on the title!
Lots of information on Jeremy and his antics and background. I'm not certain that British newspapers ever carried this strip, but I feel like I know him pretty well after your excellent description.
Seems to me that teenagers the world over share a majority of ineptitudes and endearments - but Zits may have been too American for us. Now, though, with the popularity of The Simpsons, Family Guy and American Dad (not to mention South Park) it seems likely it would succeed here.
Thanks for a mountain of research and information, Brett. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Again, thank you for sharing this with us. I was and am a 'Zits'. I can't wait for 'Baby Blues' because I can't remember it. I don't think I ever read it, but who knows. I was and still am a 'Family Circus' fan.
his ability to consume large amounts of food in seconds (having raised four boys, it's true, I had a rule they couldn't start snacking until I finished the dinner dishes)
