Roger tries to get Jason away from the Jupiter 64 so he can watch football. Andy goes "Titanic"-crazy. Jason goes through a love crisis. Paige ends up in lots of bad luck. Peter paints a goattee on his face. Andy goes goo-goo for Bitty Babies. Jason and Marcus dress up for "The X-Files Movie: Fight For The Future". Jason shows off his OS, Jasondows. Jason meets Lara Croft. Peter shows up wearing the same shirt as Morton. Andy makes a speech about "Dilbert". Andy finds Jason's leftover Halloween decor.

All these and more are in this book!

This book is soooo hilarious! The "Titanic"-themed strips are really good, but my favorites are probably the ones about Jason's nightmare encounter with Lara Croft of "Tomb Raider" fame. A few other good cartoons: Andy's mutant zucchini (sp?) crop, (Man, can I indentify with that! I haven't touched one of those things in over a year, when MY garden went beserk with 'em. If I never see one again, it'll be too soon!) Paige and her uncaring biology teacher, Peter's obsession with summer football training, and Roger's inabilty to watch football at Super Bowl week, due to Jason's playing of "Duke Quackem" on his "Jupiter 64". In this story, Rog tries to hurridly get Jason a memory cartridge to save his game, but gets him a "Rambo Pack" instead. Any video-game-system-literate person will find this series of strips hysterically funny! Great book, Mr. Amend! Keep 'em coming!

Great book! One of the best, actually. As I said in my other Fox Trot review, I just can't get enough! I dread the day Bill Amend decides to retire. May that day never, ever come!

This book is must for your collection!

I have always enjoyed the Foxtrot series, and this collection is a wonderful addition. The strips are very timely, so the pure bite might have faded a bit -- for example, references to Tomb Raider and Titanic seem a little outdated now -- but they still have the power to make me laugh out loud. Seeing Andy surrounded by Kleenex and sobbing because "My Heart Will Go On" is on the radio still makes me crack up!

Another winner from Bill Amend. Enjoy!

You'll love this book. I read through it and said boy was this worth the wait. Its up to date and really funny. My favorite strips are the Jerry Spienfield,Dilbert,and the tomb raider one. This is bill amend at his best.

Needless to say, this FoxTrot comic book is very funny. Needless to say, if you are a fan of comic strips of any kind, I would quickly usher a large amount of FoxTrot books your way.

The outrageous series in this book include:
-Sportschatter vs. Duke Nukem
-Titanic Craze
-Valentine's Day
-Power shut-out
-gotee magic
-finals week (always a FoxTrot staple)
-BittyBaby Craze

-Tomb Raider 2
-Babysitting (for Mrs. O'Dell)
-Airguana
-First day of school clothes

-POST-Halloween craze

Now, you SHOULD just be imagining in your head right now the funny twist that Bill Amend puts on these. If not, well, you should!!!

Great job Bill Amend, you rock!!!!

If you don't think that getting 369 good laughs for 10 bucks is a good deal, don't buy this.

FoxTrot is the funniest strip around. Too bad its not more popular. Bill Amend has a terrific sense of humor, and you'll see why if you read this. It has something for everyone from babysitting to video games to the internet to crushes and psycho science teachers at school! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) Read this book!

The best of the collection yet...and I own every one! See how Jason deals with his first (though reluctant) crush! Witness the horrors of Andy's mutant zucchini garden! Watch how Jason uses a simple ultraviolent video game to spare the family from Roger's annual Superbowl insanity! Be prepared to laugh until your crazy as a Fox... Trot!

Foxtrot is very good. The guy has real talent. I didn't know what to think of them at first, but once I read them in the paper, I was hooked. I thought that they were fabulus. I couldn't put the books down. When I was finished, I was pouting because I their weren't any more to read. The books are really enjoyable and I hope you make the decision of buying them yourselves. If you like comics as well as I do I know you will enjoy them as much as I did. They are one of the most hilarious comics I've read.

Hellooo! Why isn't there a 6 star? This book was awesome!
