this is the coolest strip ever written! I enjoy it on an almost daily basis(they don't deliver the paper on mondays.) But back to the book, a family of five deals with the mom's mid-life crisis, the dad's football obsession, 10-year-old-boy's Einstienic brainpower, 14-year-old-girl's boy crazines, and 16-year-old-boy's amazingly bad driving skills. A true masterpiece of capturing the essence of suburbian life. Also try Calvin&Hobbes.

Bill Amend has created several treasuries, including "Enormously Foxtrot" and "Camp Foxtrot". This book is "wildly" hilarious and the rereading factor is greater than almost any other 'comic book that has ever existed in the past,say, 1999 years. If you buy it, you certainly will NOT regret it.

Readers of FoxTrot and those who aren't familiar with it will love it. It shows sibling rivalry at its funniest. Science geeks will especially love Wildly FoxTrot.

A laugh out loud comic strip unlike any other, Wildly Foxtrot again shows us family life in a hilarious way. Also check out the other Anthologys by Bill Amend.

It is really neat, and since it is an older one you get to see what they used to look like. It still has the humor of the others and it is just as hilarious. I really recommend this book to any FoxTrot lovers.

I can sit and read this book over and over and over and the jokes are just so funny. I find it quite odd but I can relate to Jason Fox in so many ways.

Jason and the entire Fox family provide a wild ride of laughs through the hilarious ways of their life. Jason is just a little too smart for his own good and I think that you would enjoy this book.

Some favorites from this collection:


Andy (mom) talking to Peter as he's reading the sports page at breakfast:

Andy - "Peter, are you ever going to write your history paper?!"
Peter - "Mom, relax. I'm one of those people who works best under pressure. If I wrote my paper way ahead of time, I'd probably do a lousy job. The way I see it, the longer I put it off, the better it'll end up being."
Andy - "It's your G.P.A. - pass the cornflakes."
Peter - "Heck, school doesn't start for another 43 minutes."

A big Sunday colored strip has Jason writing a letter, with friend Marcus watching:

[Jason's letter] - "Dear PBS, My name is Jason Fox and I'm 10 years old. After seeing 'Jurassic Park' I'm more convinced than ever Barney should be eating those kids. Yours most sincerely..."
Marcus - "I know I'd start watching the show."

Roger (dad) growing a beard, and talking to Andy:

Roger - "Wow - Feel it today!"
Andy - "Roger, I don't want to feel your beard, OK?"
Roger - "But it's poofier! Feel..."
Andy - "I don't care how poofy it is, I don't like it!" Look Roger, some men look good in a beard... some men look great in a beard... some men are positively irresistible in a beard... but you -..."
Roger - I'm not positively irresistible?"
Andy - "I can't speak for female sea urchins, of course, but-..."

And finally, Roger and Peter eating dinner:

Roger - "MMM - Honey, this is delicious! I mean, the sauce is out of this world! Boy, this is a far cry from the lasagna you used to make!"
Peter - "Dad, this is takeout."
Roger - "I mean, um, 'a far cry' in the different-but-equally-yummy sense..."
Peter - "The real question is how does your foot taste?"


And there's gobs more of Paige and Jason as well!

You can't go wrong with an anthology like this.

This book is so funny. It makes you laugh your head off!
