All I Can Say is Har-de-har-har

I have been a faithful FoxTrot reader for years. Roger, Andy and their kids Peter, Paige and Jason are always good for a reality check with a large dose of laughter. I've got two girls and let me tell you, I see a lot of my kids in Paige with, I believe, even a healthy dose of Jason thrown in. And they have Peter's bottomless stomach. Of course, they're faithful FoxTrot readers too. I used to read the strip to them, explain what was going on, but now they get it just fine and we three all laugh together. Then my girls try and explain the strip to their dad, who pretends he doesn't get it. The FoxTrot folks are a great family, one we sort of got used to checking up on every day, so we took the news that Mr. Amend was going to cease daily distribution of his wonderfully funny people and turn his strip to Sunday only, with a bit of sadness. Still, we have these terrific FoxTrot books to keep us going with our FoxTrot fix. Mr. Amend is to be commended for his great gift to our culture and his great gift to so many lives. I truly believe a laugh a day, helps keep the blues away and the FoxTrot gang are always good for a laugh. Heck there are a lot of laughs in the FoxTrot books. I know, I have them all and I am, along with my girls and my hubby dear, eagerly awaiting the next one. Oh yes, I forgot to mention, we don't have an iguana, but my girls do have a pet gecko and, you guessed it, his name is Quincy.

Foxtrot rocks!

This is a great foxtrot book.It draws the name from a twelve strip long story, where Jason needs a Charizard pokemon card for his collection. Eileen, his rival/crush, has one, and she'll give it to him if he goes on the field trip to the science museum with her. There is also a storyline where Jason writes a 'new christmas special' detailing how evil Mrs. Grinch(Jason's mom) hates spending money on big presents, buying instead socks and books of poems. Other storylines include when Andy(the mom)'s mother comes for a Thanksgiving visit and when Jason has a dream where he transforms into a mini Paige.There's also the time where Jason tricks his dad into playing 'i want to be a millionaire', a game show where if you lose, you must give jason money. Another storyline is where Roger and Andy speculate on what would happen if Jason starred in the lord of the rings movie. Overall it was very entertaining and i liked it. Hope you do too.

Hilarious stuff!

I really love FoxTrot comics, and it is really worth it to get them in book form. FoxTrot is my favorite comic strip - it features a believable family, the Foxes, which is composed of the youngest sibling, the geek (Jason), a typical teenage girl (Paige), a typical teenage boy (Peter) and their parents, not to mention Jason's iguana, Quincy. This book is hilarious - the strips are original and do not get too repetitive, as other comic strips do. Get this and enjoy!

Great

Okay, this is a good book! I like Andy the Grinch series. good job Amend!

Bill Amend Does It Again

Bill Amend does another brilliant and wonderful job in this new collection of FoxTrot Comics. In includes the different story lines of Grandma's Thanksgiving visit, I want to Be A Millionaire, Andy the Grinch, Paige-o-morhosis, Nerds of the Rings, and Peter's Cup Size. This is only the main groups, but it is hilarious from start to finish detailing some of the recent pop culture items such as Jason Fox's pokemon card collection and a parody of his role in the Lord of the Ring. Wonderful Job Once Again!
