FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Glitched" published March 29, 2020 - Paige: I think my phone is glitched. Employee: How do? Paige: It doesn't show incoming messages... or incoming voice calls... or incoming e-mails... ...from any of the boys I flirt with at school. Paige: I spilled soda on it once. Could that be the issue? Employee: I'm gonna go out on a limb here...

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Compromising Situation" published October 18, 2015 - Peter: Hut! Hut! Hike! Jason: Ha! My king is still on the board! I win! Peter: Help me pick up the pieces. I demand a rematch. Jason: Peter wanted to play football and I wanted to play chess, so we're compromising like you're always telling us to do. Andy: Can you at least compromise outside, please?!!

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Piece-love and Misunderstanding" published July 28, 2013 - Roger: If you peel back the felt, you can see the crack goes across the entire base. I can get a little excited when I yell checkmate, and it's possible I slammed it down too hard. Either that or my wife throws these things at me harder than I thought. I could try to repair it with glue, but I think replacing the piece is probably warranted in this case. Any chance you have this model in stock? It's a Tourneypro II, medium weight. Jason: I told you they wouldn't. Roger: It was worth a try, ok?!

FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Greatness Takes a While" published November 4, 2012 - Roger: Hmm, decisions, decisions... Andy: Well, let me know when it's my turn. Roger: Where are you going? Andy: I figured I'd do the dishes while I'm watching. Then maybe clean out my car...then swing by the bank...then go to the gym...then hit the grocery store...then come home and watch a few TV shows...then write a novel... Roger: Very funny. My opening chess moves don't take THAT long. Andy: Says you. Roger: Oh, when you're at the store, see if they have those French bread pizzas I like.

FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "No Chance" published November 13, 2011 - Roger: Backgammon? You know I don't like to play backgammon. Andy: What's wrong with backgammon? Roger: There's too much luck involved. I prefer games that showcase my brain power and skill without random chance affecting the outcome. You know, like chess. Andy: Fine. Let's play chess. Checkmate! That's what? Four games in a row? Roger: On second thought, let's play backgammon.
