Zits (comic strip) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Zits
''Zits'' is a comic strip written by cartoonist Jerry Scott and illustrated by Jim Borgman about the life of Jeremy Duncan, a 16-year-old high school sophomore (previously a 15-year-old for the life of the comic). The comic debuted in July 1997 in over 200 newspapers and has since become popular worldwide and received multiple awards.〔 As of 2010, it continues to be syndicated by King Features and is now included in "more than 1,700 hundred newspapers worldwide in 45 countries and is translated into 15 different languages."〔http://kingfeatures.com/licensing/licensed-brands/zits/ Retrieved 9/12/2015 - see "Brand Highlights" tab.〕 Set in central Ohio suburbia, the strip centers on Jeremy as he tries to balance his family life, social life, the academic demands of high school and his plans for the future, often with a heavy dose of surrealism, making it stand out from being just a typical teenager cartoon strip. ==Origin== In 1996, Jerry Scott was drawing ''Baby Blues'', a comic strip about raising children he co-wrote with Rick Kirkman.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Archive: History of Baby Blues )〕 He realized, however, that his profession as an independent cartoonist was limited to whatever joke he could conceive next.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='Zits' drawn from life )〕 A friend suggested he begin a strip about a teenager. Scott heeded the proposition but was unsatisfied with his character's sketches, finding them similar to those of his existing strip. After Scott discussed the issue with his artist friend Jim Borgman, the two corresponded with one another over the next few months and eventually collaborated on the characters that would become the Duncans. King Features, already distributing ''Baby Blues'' and Borgman's editorial cartoons, began running the new comic strip in 1997 with Scott writing and Borgman drawing.〔
