I saw that today too... I had to let out a chuckle


With so many horrible comics today it's always nice to read Foxtrot.

I'm also a fan of FoxTrot, one that I remember quite well was a few years back when the ps2 was released. The brother tells Jason way to go on putting a ps2 on your christmas list. Followed by "So, which state are they looking in today?".

Anyone else remember that one?

"Fox Trot" is awesome. Bill Amend is an admitted geek and it shows. :)

Trivia: Every time Jason uses computer code or a mathmatical equation it actually works and isn't just random gibberish other writers would use.

I like the recent FoxTrot's where he's been playing online games with someone whom he just found out is a girl :)

Fox Trot, Pearls Before Swine, Mallard Fillmore, Boondocks and Get Fuzzy are my 5 "Must Read" comic strips.

Mallard Fillmore? People actually read that? Voluntarily?

I saw that one. I also remember one where he's playing with his friend a game they haven't played in a while with outdated graphics. And the game was only two weeks old.

Ya, I love Fox Trot, one of my favs are, When Jason refuses to play Tomb Raider because he won't play any game with a girl as the main character and then that night Ms. Pacman haunts him, saying things like "Remeber Jason, the arcade in the restaurant" Classic. Still doesn't match Farside, though nothing will.

Got a good place to read Fox Trot online?

I have every book hehe.

I WISH Mallard Fillmore was in the local papers... I'd read that over Doonesbury any day :P

Wow, I always wondered who read Mallard Fillmore. I file it under Mary Worth and those sorts of strips as those I never see the appeal of. People probably say the same about my taste, though :)

Pearls Before Swine is great, tho....

Checking the online site that LJ linked to, I see this seems to be a one day only thing. :/

I'll have to check the backlogs for some of those other strips that you guys mentioned, though. I really like the comic but never get the chance to read it on a regular basis.

Well, they aren't stupid, you have to pay a (relatively) small yearly fee if you want the privilege to access archives. Be happy that you can already read the latest one for free on the Internet...

Are you implying that ribbons only come in one color?

FoxTrot happens to be my favorite comic! I do seem to be a lot like Jason. I own a lot of the books an I read FoxTrot every day! :) I love FoxTrot!

they arent only one color, but i see more of them then any other, and i certainly wouldnt call anyone with a yellow ribbon on their car a liberal

my point isnt political, it shows that the cartoon in question is pretty stupid

I get it, and as a Canadian surrounded by mamby-pamby Liberals everywhere I look, I found it to be quite funny.

Foxtrot is good too, but nothing I've seen in the last few years can hold a candle to Farside or Calvin and Hobbes.

Calvin & Hobbes > All

Seriously, the social commentary in that strip is better than anything I've ever seen. I quote them all the time to my students and I have a door covered with them heheh

I used to agree with you, then I saw Sinfest.

Sinfest = Calvin and Hobbes > all

I love Foxtrot, that along with Drabble and Peanuts are my favorite comic strips. Calvin & Hobbs was/is also great. There is a lot of boring strips that I don't read in the paper like Mary Worth or Rex Morgan M.D. and the type.

Yes I got the fillmore strip but my comment about "only one color" was directed to chrisbid only applying one of the many different causes ribbons are used for to his point. However, yes, I get it, the point has nothing to do with the color of the ribbon or even what the ribbon is for. It's a basic (talk - action = 0) statement.

it was a half-baked statement as liberals are not the only types that wear ribbons, and the original idea of the whole ribbon thing in the first place was as a fund raiser for x cause, just like the lance armstrong armbands.

i wouldnt put piss poor generic political stereotype bashing on the same level as geek-joke foxtrot

The Lance wristband has gotten out of hand. I was wearing a blue band at work last week and someone asked what it was in support of, after a moment I replied "people with radiation poisoning". Maybe giving away Fantastic Four promo bands at EB wasn't such a good idea.
