FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for January 29, 2025

Some costumes. Sam Spade, Mata Hari, and Bond, James Bond.

LOL

Who are those people with dark glasses? And where are the kids?

what would he get her? either a tofu pie or an eggplant casserole maybe – with a candle in it to make it look romantic

Peter’s not old enough to drink that shaken, not stirred martini!

Really ?? Smoking ??? Baaarrfffff! Puuuuke!!! Disgusting !!!!

Nothing, the wife is always on a diet, anti cards, oh I worked in a flower shop don’t waste your money, she doesn’t wear jewellery, always doing a Marie Kondo. So it is a broom every year.

Is there a guide to the state of Mr. Fox’s tie, like Dilbert’s as a sign of romantic status?

Eh, the costumes don’t make it a stupider idea than it already was. If anything, they distance the kids from the stupidity.

Something useful like a tie iron.

but it’s more fun this way. :D

How about a recipe book of food people actually want to eat?

Real spies are supposed to be inconspicuous.

…and what did she get him? I have always got my guy something. Have always thought it folly to expect to receive and not give as well.

My favorite Christmas present of all times was the year my husband surprized me with a battery charger- jump starter. To heck with girly things. I needed it to get stuck cars out of the parking lot. Wonderful husband! My second favorite was a 20 foot shipping container. The man knew his woman.

My wife never liked any of my gifts. Like the new fly-rod, a dozen goose decoys, space heater, and even the cordless drill. go figure.

Duh. Chocolates or roses. Or both.

A card or two and a package of double stuff Oreo cookies.
