Customer Reviews

The greatest FoxTrot book ever!

This is truly my favorite FoxTrot book! I have read "My Hot Dog went out, can I have another?","Assorted FoxTrot","Wildly FoxTrot","Camp FoxTrot", and "FoxTrotius Maximus". This is better than all of these. Check out the others too, though.

FOXTROT RULES!

This book is awesome! This is a A+, 100%, 5 star, simply amazing book! Bill Amend is clearly one of the best cartoonists of our time, right up there with Charles Schulz, Jim Davis, and Scott Adams.

I enjoy all of Amend's collections - no exception here.

I have always found Foxtrot a wonderful evening read. This collection is another great way to go to sleep with a smile on your face.

The best comic strip left in today's newspapers

With "Peanuts," "Calvin and Hobbes" and now even "Liberty Meadows" gone from the pages of America's newspapers (at least in new form), it's time for me to select a new favorite daily comic strip. Fortunately, Bill Amend's "FoxTrot" has long been in my top-five list -- it's just being moved to the head of the line."FoxTrot" is one of the few strips left that can be funny without being syrupy, hasn't been rehashing the same old jokes for decades and doesn't politicize to such an extent that you wish it would be moved to the editorial page. In five main characters, Amend has an almost infinite number of story possibilities -- the health nut mom, the doofus dad, sports-crazed Peter, boy-crazed Paige and the frightening boy genius Jason.Jason is easily my favorite character, and I suspect Amend created him as an outlet for his own inner geek. Strips like Jason's preparations for the new "Star Trek" movie or the one where he demands a refund for a comic book due to a piddling continuity error are the sort of things that only a real Trekker or comic reader could draw with such affection. I've got all but two of the FoxTrot anthologies and I plan to own them all in short order -- but this is my favorite because the strips in here chronicle the period where my local newspaper started to carry it. These are the strips that first introduced me to the Fox family. I still look for them every morning.

Definitely the best Foxtrot book yet.

Well, Bill Amend has done it again. The wild humor of a 10-year-old torturing his siblings and his parents out of their minds with his computer and his iguana, Quincy. I especially like the way that Jason makes fun of his sister using his own web page, that links you to the Columbus Zoo's Chimp facility after telling you that her picture is next. Of course, Jason's Christmas list every year is always a good laugh as well.In conclusion, Bill Amend is a total genius and I hope that he continues to draw Foxtrot for many years to come.
