FoxTrot by Bill Amend for December 13, 2009
Transcript:
Marcus: Asking for any good video games this Christmas? Jason: A few. I'm asking for "Metal Gear Solid 4" again. Marcus: Yeah, what happened with that last year? Did your parents think it was too violent? Jason: No, my dad misunderstood and bought me four solid metal gears at the hardware store. Marcus: Hmm. Maybe you should just ask for cash. Jason: I tried that once. I got a "Walk the Line" CD.

Foxtrot has been a favorite of mine for about as long as I can remember. I almost cried when it was announced that it no longer would be a daily strip.
It was almost as much of a blow as when Gary Larsen retired The Far Side…..
“…when will they ever learn, when will they ever learn?”

Am I the only one who think Jason and Marcus are taller than they used to be?
I’m with jaiel. Jason only thinks he wants a video game. Once he listens to the Man in Black he’ll find out what he really likes.
Donna Haag almost 15 years ago
Nope I’m with Jason on this one. Not a fan of Johnny. To me, the man in black is Roy Orbison

Bill Amend should totally make a book of all the sunday comics.

Ooooh with the final panel. If J.R. (1932-2003) were still alive, he’d laugh at this. ^__^ lol

More like the fence is diminished due to distance and perspective. But proportionately, the boys seem taller to me also.

I agree that Bill Amend should make a book of all the Sunday comics, but if it takes about a year to produce a book for a daily comic strip, it would take a lot longer to create one that was just for the new Sunday comic strips.

I dunno… I think Roger’s misunderstandings might be rather brilliant.

why would anyone comment ever on a comic? all of you are reading way to much into this.
Destiny23 almost 15 years ago
Wait a minute, he STILL wants the same game he wanted YEAR ago?!?! Like that would ever happen! They’re probably up to number 7 by now, and Jason wouldn’t be caught dead with number 4…

I’m sure he put those gears to good use anyway.

Possiblekim - Your mis-use of English makes you sound stupid as well.

If his parents can’t fathom that he wants a check or GameStop store credit, Jason should do what I do: ask from my hipper, wealthier relatives.
