Summary: Best comic strip in current publication
Review: Amend has yet to disappoint. FoxTrot is consistently the best comic strip in current publication, and this collection is an enjoyable addition to the body of work.Amend's characters are genuinely likable, not at all preachy, and easily identified with. The fact that Amend and I are roughly the same age may have something to do with it, but I find my interests largely coincide with many of the characters' interests, making the strip a daily joy. I have one unread collection, His Code Name Was The Fox, on my shelf, saved for a time when I need some cheering. Do yourself a favor and treat your mind to an enjoyable visit to the FoxTrot universe.

Summary: A whimsical collection
Review: Fans of the newspaper cartoon Foxtrot are in for a surprise in this collection, which portrays the sleuthing duo of Jason and Marcus as they follow clues to finding a thief. Encyclopedia Brown And White provides a whimsical collection of their unusual sleuthing abilities in a title all ages will enjoy.

Summary: Same old, same old... but good as ever!
Review: Foxtrot is finally getting to the point where the strips seem familiar even when they are brand new. Still, it's one of my favorite strips for the charactors and brand of humor... and I'll keep reading (and buying!) until this one turns into another Garfield or fades off into the sunset like C&H.

Summary: Just how I remember it!
Review: I've been a fan of Fox Trot since Peter Fox and I were both the same age...and that was a while ago...What is great about this comic strip is that the humor comes from the relationships the characters have with each other. Also, although obviously amplified, many of the premises for the situations are very believable (I, like Jason, had a secret crush- and swore to slug the boy if he ever told, when I was around 10...or was it last year?...um...); these characters go beyond typical stereotypes and have clearly defined characteristics- Amend makes sure the little details, such as the silly posters hanging in their rooms, help convey his characters' personalities. My favorite, of course, is Jason, but I can identify with all of them: Paige, Peter, Roger and Andy, Marcus, Nicole, Denise and Steve...Even Ms. O'Malley!
The Camp Foxtrot collection is probably my favorite, but all the others do not lag behind. This collection brings back the friends Jason made at Camp Bohrmore in an exciting whoddunit (complete with bubble-making pipe).
You can tell Amend has fun doing this (keep an eye out for all the newspaper headlines featuring the successful exploits of a certain cartoonist)- and is a great observer, too.

Summary: Every new Foxtrot collection is a reason for rejoicing!
Review: Jason, Paige and Peter just keep getting funnier and funnier with every new collection. It's amusing to watch Jason dealing with pre-puberty - he just can't deal with the fact that he's actually attracted to a (gasp) girl! As with the previous collection, "Death by Field Trip," this is in a smaller-size format than the older collections, but as far as I can tell it's the same number of strips, and the smaller size makes it easier to hide behind your textbooks when you want to read it in class!

Summary: Amend continues to show his comic will never go dry
Review: Let's face it. Some comic strips in the paper used to be good. Laugh-out-loud hilarious in some cases. But they've dwindled away to lame jokes and absolutely nothing original... Each strip is just a new cliché. (To avoid flaming, I won't mention them.) In the early days, Foxtrot was like this. Not to the extent of the comic strips I mentioned above, but still, nothing to get excited about. How many times was the "Paige is kissing Pierre in her dream, but is really kissing Quincy" gag used? How about the "Jason comes home from vacation and either repromands Quincy for behaving at Marcus' house, or congradulates him for raising caine" gag? You knew what was coming. Now you don't. The jokes are unpredictable. Bill Amend has wised up around 1998/1999 and doesn't show any signs of giving up, and this book is living proof of this golden age that may last until Amend's retirement.
