Rating: 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.
Rating: Summary: Amend Does It Again! Review: The actual stealing of Phobe's notebook, the inept investigations by Jason and Marcus, the final everybody accuses everybody, and the revelation that Eugene is guilty combine to make this book worth five Quincys. (I do deplore the fact that Amend has reduced the number of cartoons per book, however).
Rating: Summary: Great small book! Review: The second surprise I found when I got this book was is ize. I was expecting the, now, standard size for cartoons books and found this. I loved the size. The first surprise was the book story line. Hilarious!!! FUN FROM BEGIN TO THE LAST STRIP!!!
Rating: Summary: Simply the Best! Review: This book is just hilarious! Great jokes & humor. It is up to Mr. Amend's usual high standard.
Rating: Summary: Stupid Review: This used to be funny, but this adition sinks too a new low point, a lot of the jokes are unfunny and unoriginal, most of them are recycled from previous Foxtrot comic strips...
Rating: Summary: two thumbs down Review: Whenever I am down or am just having the worst day in the world, I usually need to read or watch something funny. A lot of times I read comics like Calvin and Hobbes and FoxTrot. FoxTrot is always funny and is able to get more than a laugh or two out of me. Here is another excellent FoxTrot collection by the great Bill Amend; "Encyclopedias Brown and White." There's more chaos and insanity going on in the Fox household than ever before. Jason is aggravating his sister, Paige, Roger is driving his wife up the wall, and Peter is eating just about anything he can get his hands on. They are still just as outrageous as ever and can still surprise us even when we think they can't do any better. Some of the stuff you will find in this collection: *Peter's cell phone *Detectives Jason and Marcus tries to solve a crime *Roger and his homemade wine *Paige's Robo-Pup *Varsity e-football (wha?) *Nosecracker dreams, and much more! I found this collection of FoxTrot comics to be extremely funny and entertaining. Amend never ceases to be funny and is always looking for something new and clever to write. These collections are also very easy to read over and over again, without it losing any of it's humor. Jason driving his sister insane is always fun to see! So if you love FoxTrot, then "Encyclopedias Brown and White" is the one for you. Filled with witty humor, outrageous situations, and memorable lines, this is a great read for anyone who's looking for a little humor and entertainment.
