FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Pyramidal" published April 9, 2017 - Peter says: I know this is will sound crazy, but hear me out. What if a Pharaoh started by putting down one stone... then he got five other people to each bring a stone... then each one of them got five people to bring a stone, then each one of them got five people to bring a stone... Pretty soon there'd be like a million stones piled up! Steve says: So what you're saying is the pyramids were built using a pyramid scheme. Peter says: I'm only saying it's possible.

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Plum Position" published March 26, 2017 - Paige says: Whatcha doing? Peter says: Honing my baseball skills. Varsity tryouts are tomorrow. Paige says: It looks like you're just writing stuff. Peter says: I'm practicing my autograph. I've decided to let the other guys vie for the hitting and fielding slots while I nail down the plum position of fan favorite and media darling. Signing balls... posing for pictures... winks and fistbumps for the little kids in the stands wearing my jersey... I mean, I was made for this role. Hey wanna help me out? Pretend you're a TV reporter and lob me some fun questions. Paige says: Are you insane? Peter says: Wait, wait, don't start yet! Hold this pen like it's a microphone!

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Battle Lines Drawn" published March 19, 2017 - Jason says: Did you read the Sunday Funnies? Peter says: Not yet, why? Jason says: A year ago, some comic strip poked fun at "Pearls Before Swine," and today Stephan Pastis is finally getting even. Peter says: Why'd he take a whole year to respond? Wouldn't it be better to do it while it was still fresh in people's minds? Jason says: Of course it would, but remember that Pastis is a former lawyer. He probably proceeded slowly out of an abundance of caution. Peter says: I thought lawyers moved slowly for other reasons. Stephan Pastis says: Check it out! 2,459 billable hours! Rat says: That's not how this job works, you moron. Pig says: Don't bother. He's been drinking since breakfast.
