FoxTrot by Bill Amend for September 21, 2008

I can’t believe that Eileen turned that down.

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don’t.

Oh, that’s good, Runar. You had me blinking for a second there. Amend must have a background in science and engineering. I’ve noticed that the equations he puts on the blackboard from time to time actually make some sense.

Wow, the internet’s like a two-edge sword – on one hand, anybody can post whatever they want. On the other, anybody can post whatever they want.

Turns out Bill Amend got an undergraduate degree in Physics from Amherst, so he knows what he’s making fun of.

Binary code: good for computers, bad for hopscotch!!!

If I remember correctly, Jason is modeled on Bill Amend as a kid.

…am I the only who-at first-saw a giant wang?

Hey SchmoozeMinkey, please read, or like I did, listen to this book.

how DARE you malign one of the greatest minds of the 20th Century!

Einstein was a genius, but that doesn't mean that he wasn't an a**hole. SchmoozeMinkey seems to imply that he signed off on the atomic bomb (which, really, would have happened anyway without him) just to be a jerk, which is silly. But if you've read about how he treated his family …. I'll refrain from a judgement, but his intelligence cannot put him above criticism.

That’s actually a good way to learn binary….

Smark, unless there’s serious body jewelry involved, I think you’re on your own with that observation…

Nope, I did a double-take too.

Obvious why Amend didn’t stay in physics - he has a sense of humor LOL!

smarkflea may have been on to something, if the sneaker logos were accidentally and similarly designed to match that innuendo…

I missed the sneaker bit, but you’re right.

Hahaha, nice the joke was alright until I picked up on what Smarkflea was pointing out-that made it great! oh and the sneaker thing, think of a woman and look at the girls shoes, that’s what they were getting at, ha!

Smarkflea, sometimes a hopscotch game is just a hopscotch game.

well, you guys do realize that jason is just trying to impress eileen right?

Yeah, I realize that, torch43. I was on their relationship since……gosh, i can’t remember….Maybe Eileen’s debeiut in the strip, or the time Eileen got the little poem Jason made for his mom to butter her up to buy him a bigger harddrive for the iFruit.

You’re right, JasonFoxFangirl. Over the past three months, I read the entire Foxtrot archive from beginning to end. One of the best summers ever.

Next thing you know, Jason will try to make the playground look like Super Mario Bros world 1-1 or Sonic the Hedgehog Green Hill Zone.

AWESOME

:O I just discovered something

Any one noticed that all girls have flat bottom ears
