Product Description
Meet the Fox family:

Roger, the sports-enthusiast father stuck in the middle rung of the corporate ladder.

Andy, mother and mediator of the family. Always wanted lots of kids. Now knows better. Her gourmet specialty?¿tofu casserole.

Peter has never known a food he couldn't eat, but otherwise is a typical high schooler. Inherited the sports nut gene from Roger.

Paige. Egads, a freshman! Mall rat, Cosmo queen. Knows full well Mr. Right is right around the corner . . . or the next one . . . or the next.

Jason is the youngest sibling. This warped little genius' favorite pastimes include tormenting his sister and get-rich-quick schemes. And finally,

Quincy, Jason's iguana. Vomits on Paige's pillow when not sleeping or eating. What more could a 10 year old boy ask for?

FoxTrot is a hugely popular comic strip, with twenty-three successful collections and nine treasuries. Appearing in over 1000 newspapers, three million FoxTrot books are in circulation. Jam-Packed FoxTrot features strips from Orlando Bloom Has Ruined Everything, My Hot Dog Went Out, Can I Have Another?, and How Come I'm Always Luigi?

5.0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER WINNER FROM AMEND!, November 4, 2006
By Tim Janson (Michigan) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
To me, Foxtrot continues to be the most underrated comic strip going today. It has been the most consistently funny strip since Calvin & Hobbes as Jason Fox continues to be the funniest, most unpredictable kid in comics today. The latest Foxtrot Collection features strips culled from Orlando Bloom has Ruined Everything, My Dog Went Out Can I Have Another, and How Come I'm Always Luigi? Cartoonist Bill Amend keeps setting the bar higher and higher.

Jason is at his all-time best in this strip with several new quick-money schemes including making his own computer animated films and producing his own Christmas cards. Along the way he finds plenty of time to annoy sister Paige, especially with his pet Iganua Quincy. The sequence on the release of "Return of the King" is absolutely hilarious as Jason becomes upset when Paige looks forward to the film even more than he does...only because she wants to look at Orlando Bloom!

Peter has his usual failings in sports and on tests while he tries to eat everything in sight. Peter gets a job at a movie theater wearing a Garfield the cat costume to promote the film and becomes the subject of taunts from little kids.

Paige does her usual to avoid school work and try to get a boyfriend, all the while having to be constantly on guard against Jason's schemes to embarrass her, and usually failing. There's a great Halloween series where Paige and a friend get trapped a nerd's Halloween party.

In all the humor, there is one introspective moment when the family visits Washington DC and they see the Viet Nam memorial wall which was genuinely touching. But it's soon back to business as Jason tries to buy the Apollo 11 capsule and gets his dad in trouble with the Secret Service.

From beginning to end Jam-Packed Foxtrot is a first rate collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY!!!!!, October 21, 2006
It seems as though I had been waiting for this Treasury for such a long time.

Its finally here and its wonderful. Over 150 pages of both black and white and color strips - taken from previous books (and of course the comic pages in the paper).

The whole family is back and they are as hilarious as always.

Nice, large big size. Comics are easy to read and the pictures are great. Wonderful mixture of Jason and al.

Buy this one!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The regular good stuff, September 28, 2007
Of course it gets five stars. You like Foxtrot, and you get the Foxtrot humor. If you like the comic, you'll love the book. Mine was brand new and perfect condition (as promised by amazon) and came at expected date.
