Wildly Foxtrot

by Bill Amend

Book Overview

The humor and appeal of FoxTrot derive from the interaction of it's characters, not from silly events imposed from without." -Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin and Hobbes

Everyone with a brother or sister knows about sibling rivalry, but when it involves Peter, Paige, and Jason Fox, the chaos that ensues is hilariously one of a kind. In Bill Amend's comic strip, FoxTrot, the three kids continuously push each other's buttons while...

Knee-Slapping Humor You Can't Get Enough of

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.

So much fun

I can sit and read this book over and over and over and the jokes are just so funny. I find it quite odd but I can relate to Jason Fox in so many ways.

Bill Amend has done it again!

Bill Amend has created several treasuries, including "Enormously Foxtrot" and "Camp Foxtrot". This book is "wildly" hilarious and the rereading factor is greater than almost any other 'comic book that has ever existed in the past,say, 1999 years. If you buy it, you certainly will NOT regret it.

yep, definetly an amend

this is the coolest strip ever written! I enjoy it on an almost daily basis(they don't deliver the paper on mondays.) But back to the book, a family of five deals with the mom's mid-life crisis, the dad's football obsession, 10-year-old-boy's Einstienic brainpower, 14-year-old-girl's boy crazines, and 16-year-old-boy's amazingly bad driving skills. A true masterpiece of capturing the essence of suburbian life. Also try Calvin & Hobbes.

SIDE SPLITTER!!

A laugh out loud comic strip unlike any other, Wildly Foxtrot again shows us family life in a hilarious way. Also check out the other Anthologys by Bill Amend.
