Much of the biographical imformation comes from interviews with Jim''s family, a sister, his mother, including a chapter written by his son and daughter. Jim and his mother opened the family archives and provided the family photos, which apper in the biographical chapters. Jim''s Enquirer family contributes most of the text, and his partner in the Zits comic strip, Jerry Scott, gives you the inside story on how the strip began. "--

"Zits: Super-Sized" marks the third funny-strip treasury of the hilarious trials and tribulations of Jeremy and a dynamic cast of characters that includes girlfriend Sara, best friends Hector and Pierce, and parents Connie and Walt.

This latest collection contains the story of Jeremy and Hector''s surefire moneymaking summer koi pond digging business, the e-mail breakup between Sara and Jeremy, and over 200 more of this "essence of adolescence" comic strip. Illustrations.

Adolescence is a time of painful growth and unpredictable change, when kids come packaged in a jumble of baggy jeans, rolling eyeballs, and grunting communication. Cartoonists Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman have captured the humor of that challenging time with Zits, in which they chronicle the life and times of the typically exasperating yet ever lovable Jeremy Duncan. In this first Zits treasury, faithful fans of Jeremy''s world will get a glimpse behind the scenes with never-before-seen sketches and the stories behind the strips. Sunday cartoons appear in full-color, highlighting the strip''s acclaimed drawing style. Even though the teenage terrain is rocky, Zits is warm and sympathetic. "The highest compliment we hear from readers is, ''You must have a camera hidden in our house!''" says Borgman.
