Too Gross for the Washington Post

Sometimes we push the envelope on purpose, but we never saw this one coming. What do you think?

And for Our Friends of the Spanish Persuasion…

Posted on February 20, 2012 by Jim
...this just out from our pals at Norma Publishing in Barcelona. It's our thirteenth book in Spanish, which lapped Estonia in Zits collections ages ago. Trust me, these folks know where to place an upside-down question mark in a voice bubble.

Zombie Parents

Posted on February 16, 2012 by Jim
The UPS guy delivered this sweet business to my house yesterday and promised to deliver the rest to bookstores and online warehouses as soon as he could get around to it, where you can get one for yourself. Is it really Sketchbook 15 already? Seems like we just got started.

Zits Around the World

Posted on January 30, 2012 by Jim
They tell us Zits appears in 27 countries and 15 different languages, which we try not to think about. If I start wondering what would make an Estonian teenager laugh, or for that matter, his parents, I roll up into a tight little ball and wet myself. It's best to just draw and write for the people we know. Somehow it translates. The Zits foreign book publishing program has always been a bi

Sunday Brunch

Posted on August 25, 2011 by Jim
There she sits, buddy, just a-gleamin' in the sun. An advance copy of our long-awaited magnum opus Sunday Brunch arrived in the mail yesterday. It's a whopper, the biggest stack of bound, colorful and annotated paper you'll ever buy for $19.99. It's the best of Zits Sundays, or, at the very least, quite a big stack of them. Watch for it in stores in September. Better yet, head for the store no

Shout Out

Posted on August 3, 2011 by Jerry
One of the fun things you can do with a comic strip is to use it as a big ‘ol megaphone to holler almost any damn thing you want. In the case of yesterday’s strip I used it to say hi to my old friend, Jeff Miller. Jeff is a real Renaissance Dude, capable of maintaining a highly successful career by day and fronting a rock band by night. Well, the mention of Psych 101 in yesterday’s Zi

Ups and Downs

Posted on July 26, 2011 by Jim
Summer always seems to disrupt routines, which can be a good thing except when it's not. I've always counseled young cartoonists to shake up their routines, use new tools, take a different route to work, eat cereal for dinner... all in the service of staying fresh and seeing life from new perspectives. Truth is, I hate my own advice. I love nothing more than wearing a deep groove to my favorit

Orientation

Posted on July 20, 2011 by Jerry
I just got back from one of those parental rites of passage, The College Orientation. Many, if not all colleges have their traditions and initiations, and this venerable institution is no different. Parents of incoming freshmen are advised that the tradition of shaking hands with the statue of this university’s 11th president will assure the academic success of your student. By the time the legi

Zits in Pickles

Posted on June 12, 2011 by Jim
The great Brian Crane has slipped a Zits reference into Pickles, giving us a rare opportunity to use the repulsive headline above. Thanks Brian!
