Rating: Summary: Get on your iFruity and buy this book! Review: I am a big Fox Trot fan, and have all of the collections. I am not going to insult your intelligence by making it sound as if this is a great work of social fiction, however it did make me laugh out loud many times. The continuing themes of the bad vacations, Paige's shopping, Andy's cooking, etc. are still there, but somehow Amend manages to put new twists on them and they continue to make me laugh. His best work is when he makes strips about Americans and their buying habits: the iFruity (iMac) strips made me laugh hysterically, as did the Phantom Menace and Bitty Babies (Beanie Babies). If you want a good laugh, pick up this book. It's no Calvin and Hobbes, but is at least as good as the last few Dilbert collections, which are getting old IMHO.
Rating: Summary: Everyday Laughter Review: I am a huge Foxtrot fan.I like to see the way Bill Amend Comes up with comic's that pertain to everyday life situations that make people laugh.I think people including myself can realate to the characters in the comic.I give my hat off to Bill for doing such a good job.Enjoy!
Rating: Summary: Assorted Foxtrot Review: I have pretty much all of the Foxtrot collections, and I am pretty much a big fan. This is another good collection which has good color, organization, and accurately represents the Foxtrot strip. However, this book does not offer anything extra. In one book, there was a full length "Slugman" comic book, and it would be nice to have something like that. You'd probably want to read this if you are a huge fan and missed a lot or if you just want to have a book that you can read and laugh with. Nothing serious, just fun.
Rating: Summary: Best Fox Trot Collection, in My Opinion Review: I love FoxTrot comics. Next to Calvin and Hobbes, FoxTrot is my next favorite comic strips. I have yet to read a strip that did not get some type of laughter out of me. And this collection has to be one of the best ones I have read as of now. "Assorted FoxTrot" is a collection that includes cartoons from "I'm Flying, Jack....I Mean, Roger" and "Think iFruity." I loved every page, and if you are a FoxTrot fan, this is a must-have. Here are some of the wacky strips you will encounter in the book: *Andy sees "Titanic" *Jason's girl problem *Roger's new Mobycom-2000 phone *Jason's Christmas Carol *Peter works at theatre when "Star Wars: Episode 1" is playing *Roger quits his job *iFruiti and many, MANY more. This is a wonderful collection, and is my favorite so far. I love FoxTrot and I will continue to read them as long as they are out. If you love FoxTrot, then check this out as soon as you can. You will not regret it.

Rating: Summary: Seamus 's Asorted Foxtrot Review Review: I rely enjoyed this collection, as I think it is one I can return to and laugh again, as many times as I like.
Rating: Summary: THROW PIES AT THE FOXTROTS! Review: I'm one of the few people who don't like the Foxtrots. They all have heads shaped like mittens or oven mits and I think the characters are tired cliches. Stinky Jason is the brain and bubble headed Paige is the fluff brained girl preoccupied with malls, make up and making out. The characters don't appeal to me and I don't like the way these mitten heads are drawn. THROW PIES AT THE FOXTROTS! THROW DARTS AT JASON!
Rating: Summary: Funny, Intelligent, True. Review: Mr. Amend is indeed a genius. Oh sure, he may have only received his degree from Amherst College, but he's risen above that. This is a great collection. Finally, a classic comic strip book from a living creator.
Rating: Summary: Shakespeare, Swift, Mencken... and now AMEND! Review: Perhaps the finest work of social satire EVER! His nuclear family "The Foxes" are obviously an allegorical reference to the traps of modern bourgeois society. Mr. Amend is challenging us to think beyond the promises of technology and beyond the hyperbole of mass-marketers. Mr. Amend tells us (shrouded in his delightfully witty strip) that the modern prison is a 4 bedroom home in the suburbs, where we'll stay quietly. He compels us to rise against our oppressors, to seek truth and to realize what it means to be human! That or he's just darn funny.
Rating: Summary: Assorted Foxtrot Review: This an extremely excellent, well conceived book! Funny and will keep you laughing for the entire day! I highly recommend this book to serious Foxtrot and comic readers! A must have! Get it when you can.
