Foxtrot WoW

[MongoJerry]

Another WoW related Foxtrot today. I laughed hard at this one. The "/drool" comment was a particularly nice touch.

Does everyone in the world stick their tounge up whenever they feel the slightest bit clever, or does it just happen in Foxtrot? Yeah that's been bugging me for a few days now. . .

WoW humor never gets old though.:)

You mean, stick their tongue out? It's a common character facial expression Bill Amend uses along with the bulging pursed lips. I think the tongue is used mostly when the person is thinking hard -- as in the person is thinking so hard they're not thinking about what they look like.

[Invisible Queen]

Yeah, they stick it out and up. Not just thinking hard, but whenever they think at all, from what I can tell. I'm looking at a strip where the mother of the family sticks her tongue out while paying the older son for cutting the grass! It can't be that hard to think of the five bucks you'd already agreed on,that you're already holding in your hand. . .

And here's the father, showing off his old swimming trunks that he's amazed still fits - tongue goes out.

The point is, Amend overuses it a lot.

I don't know why, but it's funny. Since Foxtrot is the Greatest Comic Strip Ever, I trust that Amend knows what he's doing.

My mother has a picture of me, when I was younger, on Christmas Day. I had received a transformer that morning as one of my gifts. I was transforming it, or assembling it or something... and there I was in my blond hair slightly messed up, profile shot with tongue.

Everytime I see that picture, I think of the Foxtrot comic, because on that morning I was Jason incarnate.

You're saying that the Penny Arcade is the Greatest Comic Strip Ever? *Looks around.* OK... *shrug*

[Rinnhart]

Not so much. But it is better than Foxtrot.

Calvin and Hobbes


I don't think I need to say anymore. :)


Of course trying to win an opinion war.... :)

OMG agreeing with Rinnhart.

I don't know about greatest ever, but certainly better then Fox Trot. There was a great one I don't feel like searching for right now about the levels of developer hell. The middle level was to be devoured by your "Fans".

Calvin and Hobbes

Can't argue with that answer. As a daily newspaper reader (and one of comics, of course :P), I was shocked when The Boston Globe decided to bring back Calvin and Hobbes, only to dump it about 6 months later for The Amazing Spiderman. Needless to say, it was a terrible day for all of us.

One comic I've been enjoying a lot recently is Pearls Before Swine. It's definitely a strip worth reading (whose characters have "guest" appeared in Foxtrot and other strips).

Cheers,
