FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Trick Plays" published October 18, 2020 - Peter: Wanna go to the park and help me practice the trick play I just invented? Jason: Not really. Peter: Jason, c'mon, it's the best play ever! It starts with a handoff to you, then you flea-flick it back to me... Then you roll to the right while I scramble left, then I fling it back to you over my shoulder without looking, then you run toward the end zone and just as you're about to be tackled, you lateral to me and I dance in for a touchdown. Think you can do it? Jason: Back up. You lost me. Peter: At what part? Jason: What's a handoff? Jason: And that, ladies and gentlemen, was MY trick play. Peter: Paige, c'mon, please?? Paige: Peter, no! I hate football.
