Hi Brett, I have to say I've never heard about Zits. It must be a totally American thing. I do follow along of American things as I'm half American, but I obviously miss out on certain thing. The world famous surrealistic painter, Salvador Dali was from Spain. Thanks a lot for sharing. Ulla:)))

Hello Brett,
wow, you really researched the heck out of this. I'm impressed by the effort that you went to, well done. In retrospect, I do recall reading Zits. It was never my favorite comic, but it had some things that I found funny. Thanks for sharing this.
Have a blessed day.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
Whoa, this was a lot to read but well worth it. I enjoyed learning about Jeremy and his comic strip, "Zits." I don't read newspapers anymore but I would like to read some of what he called surrealism. I loved the description of that movement and wish I had been around to take part in it. Thanks for sharing his achievements and his biography of his parents, et al.

Comment from BethShelby
I enjoyed reading this. I never thought of a cartoon being classed as surrealism. I had to look up the strips on google to see what it was all about. I'd never read Zits, but I like it. Thanks for introducing me to it it.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
I like that comment by Scott at the end. That's what comic strips should all be about - nothing related to the 6 o'clock news. Well, you certainly know your stuff here and have conveyed your research in a very engaging way. I'm not previously familiar with Zits but intrigued now to learn more (especially because the 6 o'clock news is so dire!). First line - suburb(a)n (depending how you intended it). Thanks Debbie

Comment from Wendy G
I would go with Scott. Give the reader a break from a rerun of world news and issues. There's a place for clever humour without incorporating news which often doesn't lend itself to comic strip type humour. Another well researched piece. You are doing a good job here.

I can't wait for family circus. I never quit got that cartoon/comic. It seemed so innocent but I'm sure I was just missing the undertones. These have been quite entertaining. Gretchen

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
I'm glad you explained about Jeremy's older brother, who I've only seen on one six or so featured strip. I have noticed there is a hint of wanting to deal with real problems, but I suspect I would enjoy the fun ones better.

Comment from Ric Myworld
I don't know what's best when it comes to adding the six o'clock evening news to a comic strip, but with that being said, what is more about real life than what happens throughout everyday. Thanks for sharing.

Always appreciate your support. Believe I would agree to keep the news out of the comics. Should be two separate entities.
