FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for February 11, 2022

I’m a little brother and I never bugged my sister. In fact, I have only an only brother and five stepsisters (who I never bug).

I bugged my entire house when I was a kid. Except for the washrooms. Didn’t want to know what was happening in there.

My father found the wires and followed them back to my room and took away my electronics set, but until then I had a great time! If I wanted to listen, I would attach the leads to the speaker one way, and if I wanted to speak, I would attach them the other way.

where’s the funeral at?

Jason will have to learn to be more devious.

Experience for his future FBI application

I’m confuzed about why he’s interested in listening to her gossip.

Cell phones took care of that.

Speaking of bugging, I am rather disappointed in Jason. Using direct connections to wiretap is sooo..‘50s. By the 60s I ..er.. heard of induction loop wiretaps that are basically undetectable without fairly sophisticated equipment, thus making no noise to listen in. Of course, it doesn’t make for a good comic strip, but whatever.

Ugg, what boy wants to hear girls talk? Jason

My only sibling was six years younger than I was, and he never bugged me. “Mine Sissy” could do no wrong. We are both in our 70s now and still just as close.

Well, Paige, it appears that in your case, that’s exactly what it means.

I didn’t listen in on my sister’s phone calls but I would stand right outside her room just to bug her. My mom said to stay out of her room so I did by about 1/8".
