The result of the debate was keep. —Korath (Talk) 03:44, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
As near as I can tell, this may be made up. Googling any of the characters' names returns zero results. Feco 20:35, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Since this is in fact a real thing, I revoke my nomiation for VfD. Google has failed me and I've lost all faith in the world. One must admit, the article does look suspicously like a clever hoax. Let it run the VfD course and it will be kept. Feco 20:10, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
As a side note: Googling for 'zit comic' finds several references. --Vodex 21:56, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - It is a real comic. A search on eBay.co.uk brings up a few copies of it for sale. Several online video retailers list "Zit Magazine - The Video" (though it has long been deleted). --Daniel Lawrence 20:41, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - I created this article and I read dozens of issues of Zit. If it didn't exist then I spent my teenaged years hallucinating. Seriously though, despite an alarming absence on Google searches, there are a few links, like an illustrator who lists "Zit" amongst his credits and someone selling an old copy of Zit.

- Interesting, haven't seen a case like this before. I'd say weak keep on the argument that a published comic (other than by vanity press, by self-publishing, or only on the internet) would be somewhat encyclopedic. If we have a lot of similar material we might need to form some guideline for this, akin to the 'music inclusion guideline'. Radiant_* 22:34, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. It's notable, sadly. It was like Viz without the tact. Dbiv 23:03, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Iccch. I wish I could vote delete, but this is real, so keep. If anyone tries to create an individual entry for Micky Munk and his Magic Spunk, I say we ban their IPs and have them killed. DS 01:28, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Legitimate publication. Wasn't this the title of an underground comix publication, too? 23skidoo 04:51, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Legitimate publication, and a member ofUK underground Viz knockoffs in good standing. --Vodex 16:42, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep I, too, remember this, and may flesh it out later. CatCrofts 05:30, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
