<I>Zits</i> is "one of the freshest and most imaginative strips." <I>Los Angeles Times</i><P>Twice honored as the Best Newspaper Comic Strip, <I>Zits</i> appears in more than 1,600 newspapers and is read daily by more than 45 million fans.<P>In <I>Pierced</i>, Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman have hand-picked strips spotlighting Pierce, who is often the most popular (and certainly the most perforated) character in their strip.
