FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for September 16, 2019

I hope the hitting of the manager is just an upside smack in the head, not a pummel to the ground.

Young Fox there not showing the cunning attributed to his namesake in the animal world.

Cleanest maggots in the league!

Peter has taken to this “manager” thing very well!

This reminds me of an episode of “Degrassi: The Next Generation”. Liberty Van Zant becomes the manager of the girls’ floor hockey team, and pretty much becomes a monster-ette.

Okay, weird. This is supposed to be part of an arc, but the beginning of the arc hasn’t been shown.

“Permission denied! If I let you hit him, I have to let everyone hit him—and there’s no way we’d keep that from getting to the Principal!”

I miss those days when I was called a “maggot”… not that I want to see my ex-wife again, mind you.

Ah, the after-school activities that will surely ensue.

The Fox family. Hmm, in Japanese and Chinese lore if a fox can live a thousand years they become very powerful and intelligent. They can talk an shape-shift. They become a particular kind of kitsune.

Kitsune (狐, キツネ, IPA: [kitsɯne] ( listen)) in the literal sense is the Japanese word for fox. … Foxes and humans lived close together in ancient Japan; this companionship gave rise to legends about the creatures. Kitsune have become closely associated with Inari, a Shinto kami or spirit, and serve as its messengers.

ah yes, the absolute classic
