FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for July 20, 2019

what do you boys got to lose aside from your masculine dignity?

They’re being set up somehow. Either there’s a bunch of girls around them listening in, or they’re being recorded and the girls will play the recording back in camp.

Better check to see if their fingers are crossed.

“We’ll be pariahs! Outcasts!”

As compared to what? I’ve never noticed those two hanging out with anyone else. They’re a clique unto themselves.

She’s wearing a wire!

When exactly did they have fun together?

100 percent secret and so is their acceptance or non-acceptance.

I never understood this. I never disliked girls, and my whole life I’ve preferred female company to male.

Come on go out on a limb take the oath.

Notice the branch hiding their answers? ☺

Good thing this was before the days of You Tube and smart phones.

I wonder how many kids are hiding behind the trees an bushes.

The Sunday strip that aired after this:

I feel like a broken record, but this is not the behavior of kids with double digit ages, if you’re old enough to casually use the word “pariah” then you’re too old to be in your “girls are icky” phase.

…to the social media!!

Smile, you’re on Candid Camera!

some of the comments regarding “not understanding girls/women” reminds me of a story regarding a genie. Guy rubs an old lamp on the beach and gets one wish (one wish only – where’d this three wishes come from?). He is afraid of traveling by ship or airplane so he wants the genie to build a freeway to Hawaii as he always wanted to go there. The genie though for a moment and exclaimed that the logistic, the supplies for cement and steel to go all the way to the floor of the ocean would be astronomical, and WTF!!?? So the guy backtracks on this wish and said that all his life he had trouble with women. He is estranged from his mother and sister – they barely talk to him. He failed in three marriages, all with bitter acrimony, and told the genie that he would like to understand women better. The genie thought about this for a minute and said, “That highway you wanted – two lanes or four lanes?”

Yeah, like Cozmik Cowboy all my life I’ve enjoyed the companionship of women (girls) I don’t understand their aversion to girls! I’m a flaming heterosexual male by the way!
