FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for December 16, 2021

Fun. (What’s Paige up to?)

3 consoles and 20+ years later the PS5 is even harder to find. I got one but I don’t know if it was worth the trouble since I rarely even play it.

I’m surprised they are that determined to get a gift for Jason.

PS2s were made out of unobtainium.

If you changed it to a PS5 the comic would still work.

I think the same thing is now going on with the PS5. Supposedly because of a computer chip shortage due to the pandemic. Yet they’ve never made enough supply of those at release, so I wonder if it’s not a planned market shortage to keep the price really high.

They can have the one my son left behind. I can’t even give that thing away.

I have never panicked to buy something for the kids. We bought gifts three to six months out. Our kids never really asked for anything. We spent time together and didn’t need a loan to fund Christmas.

No mom or dad around to give allowances…

And what rule is there that parents have to get kids exactly what they ask for? That was never how it worked in my house!

What a lip ripple.

Peter is a bottomless pit with legs. Why should it matter if he snacks before dinner? :-D

This was posted elsewhere on gocomics today — seems apropos…

Replace PlayStation 2 with any current hot console, and you see the more things change, yada yada.
