FoxTrot by Bill Amend for August 07, 2022

yeah, Paige, the heat index

They must be in Texas.

Cold here where I live.

Yeah Paige

I’m not sure what keeps her outfit on to begin with.

Just what did you have in mind mom. Can’t get much skimpier than what she’s already wearing.

Skimpier? Looks like 2 feet of string will do the trick…

Today’s classic FoxTrot Sunday strip:

“not dressed like that, I hope” – the positive side of the story is that she still considers it a “dress” of some form

Said no mother ever.

And people speak about warming as if it was a bad thing :)

It’s too bl**** hot when a tube top & short shorts is considered over-dressing. Mind you, my daughters dressing like that would be tough anyway. I’m gray-haired enough.

Yeah, that’ll happen…

…said no parent ever!

Actually, where it’s really hot in the Middle East, they wear a lot more.

A mother never said…

Please tell me Andy is being sarcastic at the end. I would never let a teenage daughter out in public like that.

Said by no Mother ever

She’ll never say something like THAT again.

afterward — when Paige enters her room to change — Andy locks her door, from the outside.

Who are you and what have you done with Andy???

we’re going to have to deal with summers when it simply isn’t possible to go outside at all pretty soon…

She’d do better to cover up more with loose cotton or linen.

Then schedule the dermatology skin cancer check appointment.

She must live in North Carolina.

Do they allow Wicked Weasels in public settings?

Does this count as fan disservice?

This must be the daughter’s dream sequence.

Skimpier does not equal cooler temperature. People in really hot climates don’t generally dress like that.

I can’t believe that NO one thought to chastise the mom for telling her daughter to wear LESS???!!!

Any skimpier than that and censors will have to be put up
