FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for November 21, 2018

greedy glutton

Let him eat your veggie pie with the tofu crust.

Make him bake 3 and he can only eat some if the other kids like it.

What a glutton he is!

I always thought these strips were an “inside gag” with Jason and Foxtrot. I now have a teenage son who does this type of thing. I think his philosophy is “If it’s in the fridge, I’m gonna eat it.”

The more frustrating part is that in spite of the way he eats he’s as skinny as a rail.

Nope. Just a teenager.

I remember a time when I could eat 6 meals a day and still lose weight.

He would be cooking what ever’s left to cook. And cleaning the house. And doing the dishes after Thanksgiving.

“Obviously they weren’t going to be enough for the whole family anyway…”

Yeah, because you ate them.

We had a friend’s 17 yr old son stay with us for a year. Another friend nicknamed him “Yum-yum, eat’em up”, for this very reason!

My mom’s favorite expression was “You must have a hollow leg”… ☺

Where does Peter put all that?

Ah, teenage metabolism… how I miss it :-)

Kid, off you go to the priciest, swankiest bakery in town..with YOUR allowance.

Used to up to Upper Michigan and go out with friends. We’d go get something to eat afterwards and sometimes leave it in the refrigerator for the next day. Except it was never there the next day as my friend’s husband said if it’s in his refrigerator, he can eat it. He was kidding, but he still eat our leftovers!

How can this family afford Peter, anyway? I doubt Roger’s competent enough for a high-paying job, and we’ve seen the kind of trouble Andy has in working.

Ralph’s are always the nicest people.

No dinner for you chump. And washing dishes for the next month and you will pay it back by first buying two pies.

most excellent

Yup—I totally saw this one coming, after I read panel 2. Still fun, though.

Death!
