FoxTrot by Bill Amend for October 18, 2009
Transcript:
Jason: Like my jack-o-lantern? Peter: It's got two faces on it. Jason: Four, actually. There are two more on the back. I'm going to put it on Dad's old record player. Then I'll hit it with a strobe light going at four times the frequency, and it'll look like the mouth is opening and closing. All other jack-o-lanterns will pale next to mine. Peter: You really think it'll work? Jason: Absolutely. I tested out a mock-up before I carved the pumpkin. Peter: A mock-up? Roger: AAAA! WHO PAINTED FACES ON MY BEATLES WHITE ALBUM?!

Roger’s fault for not having gotten it on CD yet.

I do not care what happens to that kid because whatever it is, he deserves it.
Aurion about 15 years ago
Ah, Jason is once more demonstrating that for all his genius, he is quite simply out of his gourd.

Indeed, it’s time to buy The White Album again.

Since it’s the White Album, next week, Jason learns the hard way, what they meant by, “Happiness is a Warm Gun.”

If looks could kill, it would’ve been us instead of him….

Was it the cover, or did Jason paint four faces directly on one of the lps, and look down at the disk to get the effect? A 78 RPM player would be best, if you don’t have a pottery wheel.
Jason owes his dad an iPod with the album loaded on it.

He had to have painted the faces on the album. Then spin the turntable with the strobe light running. You’d see the faces change their position with each flash as they precessed.
NateRobison Premium Member about 15 years ago
I just looked on e-bay. An early copy is going for almost $1500.00. No wonder his dad is mad.

What’s a “record player”?

About 6 years ago, Bucky from Get Fuzzy also destroyed a white album by painting it red and calling it a “Squcky” toy.
Bucky: It needed to be eye catching. it was just plain white before. Rob: It’s the white album! Satchel: not anymore!

I just gotta say this: After two years of this being a “Sunday Only” strip, I think it’s high time Bill Amend recondsider making it back into a seven-day-a week strip. Everytime a movie, video game, TV series or any other thing that relates to pop culture, we would hope to see a storyline that it relates to it like that of Amend’s Foxtrot. We really miss that.

Haha….. he’s dead…. and I totally agree with most of this random banter underneath the comic- it’s his fault he’s gonna die. Harhar! – Mew?

Jason’s been a favorite for years. he reminds me of my older brother who used to do same type of stuff. He was in paper everyday for years. I miss it.
