Rude, Crude, and Tattooed: Zits Sketchbook #12

No particular standouts in this 12th collection of one of my favorite strips, just consistently funny, smart, and slightly edgy strips about the double-edged comic angst of being a 15-year-old from a comfortable middle-class two-parent suburban home. Oh, the horror. The short-lived break-up between Jeremy and Sara was interesting, and I wish that Jerry Scott would take more forays into the fluid and shifting ground of teenage romance. But it seems like nit-picking to complain about anything in a superlative strip such as this.

My son is almost the age of Jeremy, but so much more innocent - we both keep anticipating and dreading the teen years." Well, at least my son and Jeremy both have one thing in common - they both love to sleep!"
