Take Us to Your Mall

I've been a Foxtrot reader for a long time and personally I think there is something suspiciously wrong with people who don't find Bill Amend's characters funny as all get out. If you want a good laugh, check out Bill in your local newspaper, or better yet, get one of the Foxtrot books. They are all great, really, they are. Like many of Mr. Amend's fans I'm a bit disappointed he's switching his strip to Sunday-only, but fortunately I can still read him daily in the Foxtrot books. Get them one and all and you can keep right on a laughing.

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.

I bought this book quite some time ago, and still read it every so often! Very few comics -- actually only one other (The Far Side) can make me REGULARLY laugh out loud as often as Bill Amends' Fox Trot does. How he has come up with such regularly hilarity for over a dozen years is beyond me, but here it is in black and white (and some color). Some of them are so funny, that I even laugh outloud the second time I read them!

This is a comic strip that I could read over and over and still get a kick out of. I have read all the books and they are all great. Bill Amend is a very talented at this game, and I can't wait for the next book! I thoroughly suggest these books; everyone that I've suggested them to gets hooked on them too!

This book brings the "funny". after the recent end of the Peanuts cartoon and the steady decline of Garfield I believe that Foxtrot should become the new "hit" comic. this comic brings everyday life of the american family and puts a terrific funny spin on it. well it's up to you to read this book but if you do you will be laughing for hours and that goes for all the other books as well.
