Summary: Bill Amend's Cartoons are Like a Fine Wine! Spectacular!
Review: By saying that Amend's cartoons are like a fine wine, I don't mean that they're full of squished fruit or alcohaol, they just get better with age. Besides having the worst cover in the history of comic books, this is one of the best books in the history of comic books.The title comes from Roger's (Dad) depression of feeling like he's an average joe and starts to write a spy novel. The back cover reads... "Will the world be saved, or will Andy (Mom) fail do destroy Roger's spy novel in time?" Other series in this book include:
-Valentine's dinner
-Jason's video game playmate (hint: Eileen)
-Paige's personal secretary
-Peter's return to the movie theater
-A family vacation to the Caribeanny resorts (know typo)
-Spring cleaning
-and many, many more episodes of: finals week, taxes & Andy's meatless cooking A must-have for anybody who likes cartoons. Get it, it will satisfy.

Summary: Filling in the Patches
Review: Foxtrot and it's new book "His Code Name Was The Fox" is the "Calvin and Hobbes" of our time. It's the "Far Side" of our time. Heck it's the "That Phony Nickel" of our time. The book shows humor still lives in the Express section.

Summary: "Can't you guys eat jelly beans like normal people?!"
Review: Here is another fabulous collection of FoxTrot comics, which proves that Bill Amend still has it at being funny and clever. Anytime I see a new one of these books on the shelves of bookstores, I purchase them immediately. I have lost track of the times I have read each of them. "His Code Name was The Fox" is a great collection filled with humor and surprises. Once again we visit the Fox Family, who always end up getting into unpredictable situations. Jason is still finding new ways to torment his sister, Roger is just as unintelligent as ever (especially when he acts like he is smart), Andy is getting more and more strung out by trying to keep her family sane, and Peter is not gaining any weight, no matter how much he eats. All of them play a very important role in this very funny and entertaining collection. Some of the stuff you will encounter in the collection:
*Roger's novel
*Basement cleaning
*Peter's return to working at the theatre
*Paige's new personal secretary
*Jason's new video playmate, and much more! If you love Foxtrot, then you will fall in love with "His Code Name was The Fox." I have read it many, many times already and have not gotten sick of it yet. Bill Amend proves once again that he can keep the laughs coming. Very highly recommended!

Summary: Amend does it again!
Review: His code name was the fox is a great continuation of the wonderful Foxtrot series. Foxtrot has entertained many people including me for a long time. Foxtrot follows the life of the Fox family; Jason, Andy, Peter, Paige and Roger. They are not so average family who go through many strange and hilarious adventures. This book is a definite great buy and you won't waste a penny!

Summary: He reminds me of a Genius.
Review: Mr. Amend is a funny, funny man. With the hole left by Calvin & Hobbes, Peanuts and Far Side -- let's just thank our lucky stars that he'll be doing Foxtrot for many, many more years to come.

Summary: Makes One Feel Happy
Review: Oh, YOU ARE going to laugh. And when the chips are down and no one wants to talk to an awkward, shy boy like you, pick up this book and let your worries melt away. In my teens, people made fun of the greasy lunch bag I took to school. And frankly, I've carried that sadness around with me for a long time. Years of psychotherapy and analysis have done nothing. It is only in "Foxtrot" that I find peace. With "Foxtrot" I realized that I lived in a town full of losers and that I was pulling out of there on a Schwinn. God bless you Bill Amend wherever you are!

Summary: Amend is still the best!
Review: Once again the journey into Amend's world is a treat. His ability to sustain characters who are believable while remaining likable is not to be taken lightly. The last cartoonist who did that was Charles Schulz. One request, Mr. Amend: Please let Jason have a real computer! At least give him a scroll mouse with five buttons - he deserves it!
