Wildly FoxTrot Book

Foxtrot is the most hilarious comic strip I've ever read. I recently discovered this volume in a storage bin I hadn't opened in a few years and read it cover to cover. I want to read it again.

Foxtrot tells the story of the Fox family. You've got Roger, the golf-loving dad who has an average-paying job and kinda sucks at it; Andy, the work-from-home journalist mom; Paige, the middle sister who just wants a boy to ask her to the dance and would also really love it if she didn't have an iguana pushed in her face all the time by her brother Jason; Peter, the oldest son who can whoop his father's butt when it comes to how much food they can shovel in their mouths at one time; Jason, the youngest child who's a genius and uses his brainpower to come up with things he can do to let Paige know how he really feels about her, like sticking his pet iguana into her face when she's sleeping, hiding his iguana in her bed, or just using his iguana to do various evil deeds.

I loved this comic series as a child and I still love it now as an adult. This book, and all other Foxtrot books, are good, clean reads for the whole family. There is no sexual content or violence in this comic, and I'd say anyone about nine years of age or older could read this comic and thoroughly enjoy it. The topics of these comics range from poking fun at various characters' horrid cooking skills, Jason at school dealing with various things like not getting a 100% on a test or designing a multimedia book presentation without having read the book, Paige getting busted by her family for seeing an R-rated movie when she's only fourteen, or Peter not being able to turn down an invitation to go to the dance with a girl who isn't his actual girlfriend. If you're looking at this for a gift, definitely get it. If you're looking to get it for yourself, definitely get it. There wasn't a single comic in this book that didn't make me laugh my head off.
