Customer Reviews

Hilarious Episodes With the Fox Family.

Bill Amend's "FoxTrot" is one of the best comic strips currently published (it's one of my favorite strips). It is true that year-to-year some jokes are re-used, yet for me that tradition adds to the appeal of the strip. WHO'S UP FOR SOME BONDING? is a collection of FoxTrot scripts that appeared in 2002. This book is smaller than many of the FoxTrot collections, but it's also much less expensive than some of the longer and larger books. This collection includes strips about Jason's antics and preparation before seeing SPIDER-MAN, Jason's preparation before seeing ATTACK OF THE CLONES, Jason's plans to take over Martha Stewart's empire while she is in prison, Paige and her Mom having a talk about the birds and the bees while Roger takes Jason and Peter camping, Peter's Odyssey-dream parody, some non-Christmas holiday strips, and many more. WHO'S UP FOR SOME BONDING? is a great book to get anyone who is a fan of the strip or as a primer to introduce someone to the comic.

More excellent work by Amend

Amend never ceases to amaze me. Each strip is as good or better than the previous. I highly recommend this book, as Amend is once again in great form.

The best comic out there

Foxtrot being one of the funniest syndicated comics available today (this might be arguable for some, depending on your standard for humor), you'll definitely want this comic book. This book is shorter than most of the others, the anthologies as they are called, but still chock full of loads of laughs. The book is 128 pages long, and is probably one of the more recent published form of the Foxtrot cartoon strip by Bill Amend. Included is the sage of Jason's Spider-Man movie anticipation, or "When web shooters go bad", as well as the Star Wars II wait. You'll also laugh as Jason prepares to take over Martha Stewart's million dollar empire, and goes camping with the rest of the family.Bottom line, I get genuinely concerned when/if I don't understand the humor in a Foxtrot comic, or if I fail to smile or laugh, and I'm quite positive you'll enjoy this book at least as much as I did. That's how good this comic strip is. Yes, there are reused jokes...but to anyone who might complain about them, you have to remember that SOMETHING kept them reading long enough to discover reused jokes!

Bill Amend does it again!

Bill Amend cranks out another collection of comic strips featuring the family that put the "fun" in disfunctional. There is hardly a bad strip or a storyline in the whole run of this series, that pokes fun at popular culture, media, and the finer points of life.Some of the high points of the book:Peter dog-sits for Fauntleroy - again - and the tiny terror drives him nuts - again.Jason prepares for the "Spider-Man" movie, but his homemade web-shooter keeps backfiring.Jason shines as usual on Halloween week.Peter reads "The Odyssey" for class and has a nightmare of epic proportions.Any strip dealing with the iFruit (the family's obnoxious computer).Don't miss this hilarious collection - it'll go fast.
