And When She Opened the Closet, All the Clothes Were Polyester: A FoxTrot Collection (Paperback)

by Bill Amend (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Bill Amend's FoxTrot, syndicated by Universal Press Syndicate, humorously depicts suburban living through the cavortings of the Fox family. Kids Peter, Paige, and Jason, along with parents Roger and Andy, suffer through the same fads, fixations, and familial land mines that readers know so well.

As the 25th FoxTrot comic collection, And When She Opened the Closet, All the Clothes Were Polyester! features strips published from February 2006 through December 2006—including Amend's very last daily strip. Jason continues to channel his unique brand of geekiness—primarily at Paige's expense, while Peter continues to lord over them both. Parents Roger and Andy try to keep up with their children's antics, usually to no avail.

Bill Amend was nominated for the National Cartoonists Society's prestigious Reuben Award in 2006 and 2007.

5.0 out of 5 stars As always - excellent, September 14, 2007

By	www.bookshipper.blogspot.com/ "www.bookshippe... (Montreal, Quebec) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

I adore this series and this book just adds to my admiration.

I am so sorry that Amend has all but retired his series, but this book is funny and wonderful and I loved it.

Of course, as always - the book is too short, I love the Treasury size much better - but I will take what I can get.

BUY THIS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Bill Amend!, June 6, 2008

By	Marcie Schulz - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I own all of the Foxtrot books, and now have three of my five children fighting with me over them. We all love Jason, especially. The daily life situations remind us a lot of ours. My husband could be Roger, constantly struggling to drag the kids outdoors, while they hide with their video games. Another great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the usual. GREAT!, February 29, 2008

By	Hanley (Where am I? looking for Waldo) - See all my reviews

When I bought this book, I was expecting a somewhat bland comic book as this is (or not? hopefully not.) his last book and I thought that he might have been running out of ideas. But, after reading this book I found that I can't expect less from Amend but the best! This book is great for adults, teens (me!), and even little kids. Prepare to break your ribs laughing.
