FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for October 23, 2012

Football game? You realize, Peter, that your girlfriend isn’t capable of seeing tackles, incompletes, fumbles as well as touchdowns, don’t you?

sure … it just STARTS as smooching … then petting the cat … and rubbing the dogs ears … then all HECK breaks loose – you might even hold HANDS!

Would this be known as a ‘blind date’?

No matter what, Peter, smooching costs.Money, time, sanity, pain and suffering.

Gee, don’t most grownups think it would be inappropriate to have a comic strip young children read have something like that in between underage kids?

Ick, she looks too much like Paige. Then again, there never was much facial variety in this comic.

Excuse me, but could you please reframe from swearing in your comments? I have a little sister who enjoys this comic strip and I rather her not see any bad language.

Who wants to date somebody that looks like his sister?

I was wondering about that, too. Smooching seems a little chaste. Perhaps it is the euphemism she uses at school. Most kids would at least say, “making out.” But it is odd that Peter doesn’t find the idea of “smooching” interesting. He is supposed to be a teenage boy, with hormones. Most would be THRILLED that their gf wanted to “smooch.”

Haven’t seen her in the strip recently, any chance of bringing her back?
