FoxTrot by Bill Amend for May 21, 2017

nice try, Peter Fox, on coming up with that tactic

But in this strip, Peter isn’t studying under pressure

I used this exact tactic and it worked very well. Problem is, you tend to forget everything you learned right after the exams.

So Peter, you have reasoned that even doing half of your studying isn’t enough to get a passing grade so you go all out nothing? You do know that 50% is an F, right? So how can 0% get you more than 50%? Where did your logic slip up into fantasy land?

Anyone hate the featured comment? I do.

He must get advice from Big Nate.

Training to run for president in a few years

Apparently Jason finds it entertaining to watch Andy go ballistic when Peter gets his report card.

I’m pretty sure I remember this exact same line of reasoning and joke from an old Foxtrot comic.

Maximum Mom Rage.

What’s the worst that can happen? He repeats junior year for, what, the 28th time?

…oh, and the old masthead is back

So, the night before an important exam I had read 123 pages of an 850 page text. Knew I didn’t have time to read it all, so I borrowed a friend’s notes from the class lectures, copied them and gave them back with profound thanks, and studied only his notes. I did better on the exam than he did, as he thought he should read the book. But it only worked out like that for me often enough to make an occasional comment on a comics comment page. My friend, on the other hand, graduated with honors.

Meh-todology over at Frog Applause knows how to fix the blocked replies problem that several users are having with the new “Featured Comment.”

Now he’ll have to repeat the entire speech. Good luck applying that philosophy with Chemistry.

Y’know, I just realized …

I always enjoy when Jason “wears” Quincy like a hat on his head. Fun touch in this strip.

what the heck is wrong with that tv

The headband is back!
