It's about a 15 year old rock band wannabe that has a VW Bus. Today's episode he's got the bus motor on the coffee table in the living room when Mom walks in.
All of the links I could find are off limits at work, "Not Work Related", what do they know? Look around for it, could be a nice avatar.

"Zits" is amongst the best of the current comic strips.

Agreed! It's one of the best since Calvin & Hobbs.

Interesting to see what appears to be an oil can with a punch spout stuck in it. I haven't even thought about those in years.
I saw that this morning. I was very pleased, and somewhat surprised, to see a fairly accurate representation of an upright air-cooled VW motor. Extra bonus points for accuracy!
Scott and Borgman are some pretty FUNNY guys:

Even though I'm 10+ years past being a teenager, my mom still clips out the Zits strips that apparently constantly remind her of me. Like pretty much every week.
I love my mom.
There's one where the Mom unzips the moody teenager and pulls out a four year old. They play card together, bake cookies and have a hoot all day. At the end she puts him back, waving goodbye with a tear in her eye.
The kid leans over to his Dad: "Dad, maker her stop, she's been staring at me like that all day".
It's been on my refrigerator over a year now......

I remember that one! Any ideas on how I could track that down via the web? I've never searched for back comic strips.
Google I guess. Like I said earlier, it's verboten at work.
I had a car like that van!
I have always loved Zits.. one of the best comics out there

Glad to see I'm not the only one that gets that from Mom.

My dad would have howled over that one. He was completely aghast that I had both a disassembled MG engine and a Yamaha 600 dirt bike in the living room of a place I was renting.

My crappy local paper stopped carrying Zits a long time ago. I always wondered if they got the V-dub running.

Zits has been around since 1997.
He spent over a decade (remaining 15 years old) sitting inside that non-running VW Bus in the backyard.
I spent almost as long sitting in a non-running VW Bus in my backyard when I was 15! Love it!!
Besides, now I've got my OWN teenagers! Daily Zits updates have been on our fridge for a decade.

I'm in the same boat and I'm 37. My mom will always clip the good ones for me.
It is a well-done strip. Very intellingent.
this might be my favorite one too. It helps if you have a similar teenager living at home too.

We should all be ashamed of ourselves for putting poor ol' mom through it! lol
I love it when someone nails a cultural paradigm, and then makes fun of it.
The appeal is universal.
shoot I'm 61 and Mom still points out the Zits cartoon to me
