FoxTrot by Bill Amend for January 10, 2010

Humor, like art, is all a matter of perspective…

(dodges tomatoes)

a verey funny one

I so wish he was still doing the daily … sigh.

Don’t we all, rayannina. Don’t we all…

I don’t. The last couple years of the 7-day strip made it clear he was struggling to stay fresh. He’s doing much better work these days. That’s well worth having to wait between strips, and even giving up the continuity stories.

I don’t get it…please explain. Pleeeeze Ps. for some weird reason, the snowman in the last panel does look better.

arifvakil: The joke is that in the first panel the snowman looks correct, or more lifelike if you like, to our prespective with the nose centered under the eyes, the snowman slightly facing us. In the third panel the nose is now off to the side of the eyes, much like how the characters are drawn themselves when seeing them from the side (also slightly facing us) rather than the front. Thus the snowman is now more ‘lifelike’ in the world of Peter and Jason.

Very witty snipe at his own drawing style.

Nice!

Then what is holding up his glasses if his nose is off to the side of his face?

Ha ha ha ha ha! A very comic-artisty joke :-D, Thanks a mill vexatron.

I’m just happy that we get a new Sunday strip… and Bill didn’t quit completely. I don’t mind the reruns makes me laugh allover again. This has always been a favorite strip of mine.

cheers !

Bill did warn everyone he had to cut back. I got to ask a different creator about his strip and he answered. I thanked him.

Hehe, brilliant!

I remember one cartoon where there was a series of paintings that Paige had drawn. Each was the same bowl of fruit. The first was very lifelike, and the others were graduallly reduced in detail, so the last was very cartoon-like. Her parents were very impressed by the last one and said “it’s almost a photo!”

Very much like Egyptian style circa 3d dynasty

That was a very smart issue. Haven’t seen one in a while outside the classics by Bill.

I agree, they were pretty repetitave towards the end

Dangit, Kris, I wanted to be the one to mention that strip! It was awesome. (The fact that he’s done it before doesn’t make this one any less funny, of course.)

When was that comic strip? I can’t seem to find it in the archives here.

Yes… the Foxes are all cross-breeds between humans and flounders.

It’s actually a standard comic style, not peculiar to FoxTrot at all.

it should update soon.

@TimeTraveler-The Sunday comics are still new. It’s the dailies that are reruns.

Awesomely smooth

They could have gone with an adult joke here…
