He drew a lanky fifteen year-old boy draped over a chair with hair hanging in his eyes, a guitar in his lap and an indifferent expression on his face. Knowing he had an actual teenager at home, I showed my sketchbook to Jim one day and asked for advice. The strips were funny enough, but the teenager looked wrong. My sketches and first attempts at putting into comic strip form were pretty good, but not great. Jerry Scott: Zits was an idea I had rolling around in my head for a while. Since only a German version of the interview was published, I thought I should post the original transcript as well.Ĭould you please tell me a few words about the birth of Zits? Who came up with the idea? The comic is now syndicated in over 1,700 newspapers in more than 45 countries. Zits debuted in 1997 and has been running strong ever since. Last year I did an interview with Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman for WSJ.de. Scott and Borgman are the creators of „Zits“ – a popular comic about a teen and his parents trying to coexist.
