FoxTrot follows a family of five through their bizzare everyday lives. Roger, the father, is a mid-level office worker, and his wife Andy is a successful columnist. Peter, the oldest child, is a high school senoir with a passion for sports but without the skill. Paige, the middle child, enjoys shopping but hates schoolwork. Jason, the youngest child, enjoys schoolwork and harrassing his sister.

Bill Amend had been writing Foxtrot for about four years when he drew the comic strips in this collection, so at this point he had refined his humor without needing to reuse any older storylines. Most of the comic strips play up the sibling rivalry between Peter, Paige, and Jason very well. The book also features a number of comic strips that feature Peter's girlfriend Denise, who is not featured as much in more recent strips, and it also includes a large number of references to pop culture. The longer storylines in the book include two vacations by the Fox family: one to an amusement park, and one to the hot desert in the summer. Amend also drew several new panels for the center of the book that show Paige's dreams about her idealized French lover Pierre. The book still occasionally tocuhes on serious subjects, too, such as when Peter experiments with chewing tobacco.

Overall, this is classical Foxtrot humor. Foxtrot fans should definitely buy this book, but even casual readers of Foxtrot comic strips will find something to enjoy in this book.

I would have to say that this is the best anthology yet. Having read two others, this one is by far the funniest yet. Any fan will be laughing out loud when they read about the family's trips to Fun-Fun mountain, and Cactus Flats. A must read for fans or anyone who feels no one can have more family troubles than they do.

This Foxtrot anthology is a combination of Bury my Heart at Fun-Fun Mountain and Say Hello to Cactus Flats. It is yet another great Foxtrot book by Bill Amend. Anybody who likes to go on vacation would like this book, as there are two series of Foxtrot cartoons where the Fox family goes on vacation. I'd recommend it to anybody.

Yet another amazing foxtrot anthology, The best word to describe it is just plain funny, this is a good long book, so the humor goes on and on.

If there's one cartoon comic book you should get, it's "Enormously Foxtrot." Entertaining, witty, and comical, it's the perfect reading during your spare time. Jason continues to play tricks on his sister, Paige continues to physically torment Jason, and Peter is just a regular teenager who has an appetite of a vacuum cleaner. Meanwhile, the parents try to deal with them and their own lives and still be a happy family. This gigantic collection is enjoyable and would help you pass those long hours at home.

Hours of enjoyment. I can personally relate to Jason, Bill Amend is doing a great job with the jokes. Definetly one of the best comic strips ever.

If you like Foxtrot, you'll like this book! 256 pages of hilarious comedy. And they're not kidding when they say "enormously." Enormously funny!

I would recommend this book to anyone with a family, no matter what role you play. Foxtrot relates to all sides of the family. It truly is amazing how this comic strip isn't in every newspaper in circulation! If you do not buy this book, you will miss out on a lot of fun!

From the Fox's family trip to Fun-Fun Universe and to thier trip to Cactus Flats you will be laughing. I have read every Foxtrot book even the new welcome to Jasorassic Park. Foxtrot is a series you will never get tired of!

Enormously Fox Trot was really funny. It never gets boring, I could read it over and over and it would be fun every time. It's a must get.
