Summary: Very good book, despite off reviews
Review: Bill Amend continues to produce high-quality comics, as evidenced here. These comics are very funny, and I personally enjoy having the focus shifted off Paige a little more now. As for the reviewer who said they hate it because they have not bought it, I don't see how that review made it past Amazon editors. It has absolutely no relevance whatsoever. Anyhow, this is one heck of a great book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bill Amend does it again!
Review: Bill Amend cranks out another collection of comic strips featuring the family that put the "fun" in disfunctional. There is hardly a bad strip or a storyline in the whole run of this series, that pokes fun at popular culture, media, and the finer points of life.

Some of the high points of the book:

Peter dog-sits for Fauntleroy - again - and the tiny terror drives him nuts - again.

Jason prepares for the "Spider-Man" movie, but his homemade web-shooter keeps backfiring.

Jason shines as usual on Halloween week.

Peter reads "The Odyssey" for class and has a nightmare of epic proportions.

Any strip dealing with the iFruit (the family's obnoxious computer).

Don't miss this hilarious collection - it'll go fast.

Summary: Amend Does It Again!
Review: Bill Amend's hilariously funny comic strip FoxTrot book is an undeniable success. The characters and plots are still fresh after many-a-book over the years. If you enjoy reading FoxTrot, or like any of the characters in it, as a matter of fact, you will thoroughly enjoy this latest book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: ONE OF THE BEST STRIPS GOING TODAY
Review: Fox Trot is one of my very most favorite strips. While I tend to read the comics mainly around the holidays, Foxtrot is one I try to keep up on all the time. Bill Amend has the two qualities that make a great cartoonist: First, a comical yet adept cartooning style and second: a very witty sense of humor. The Fox Family consists of Mom Andy, Dad Roger, sons Peter and Jason, and Daughter Paige. This cast tackles the situations that all families do in funny and often eccentric ways led by the brainy and altogether greedy youngest son Jason.

And While I mentioned holiday strips, Foxtrot consistently has some of the best Thanksgiving and Christmas strips every year and I always look forward to those. This is a strip that should be turned into a TV show! It's far superior to the lame "Family Guy".


Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best comic out there
Review: Foxtrot being one of the funniest syndicated comics available today (this might be arguable for some, depending on your standard for humor), you'll definitely want this comic book. This book is shorter than most of the others, the anthologies as they are called, but still chock full of loads of laughs. The book is 128 pages long, and is probably one of the more recent published form of the Foxtrot cartoon strip by Bill Amend.

Included is the sage of Jason's Spider-Man movie anticipation, or "When web shooters go bad", as well as the Star Wars II wait. You'll also laugh as Jason prepares to take over Martha Stewart's million dollar empire, and goes camping with the rest of the family.

Bottom line, I get genuinely concerned when/if I don't understand the humor in a Foxtrot comic, or if I fail to smile or laugh, and I'm quite positive you'll enjoy this book at least as much as I did. That's how good this comic strip is. Yes, there are reused jokes...but to anyone who might complain about them, you have to remember that SOMETHING kept them reading long enough to discover reused jokes!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Yeah, it was funny the first time
Review: Foxtrot might be funny for the first year you read it, but soon you too will realize he seems to play the same jokes over and over again every year. Every year I will hear something of how Peter is going to eat a million turkeys and every year I will read that Jason's Christmas list needs a semi to deliver it to the north pole. Bill Amend needs some new inspiration besides making jokes simply by exagerration. I personally recommend he read Calvin & Hobbes, Get Fuzzy, or Dilbert for inspiration on how to make a good comic. If your looking for a gift for a nephew or son, I reccomend you get him a Calvin & Hobbes book. This is clearly the best comic ever written and now that Bill Wattersons been retired so long his books are at reduced price. Dont waste your time on comics where you find yourselves shouting out the punch line before you actually read it anymore!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Perhaps his best!
Review: I bought this book yesterday and I just love it! The main reasonis because it has perhaps two of my favorite comic strips(They are on Pages 100 and 128.) This is a great collection of the Fox familie's everyday adventures. Can't wait for the next one.
