FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Maximum Something" published May 21, 2017 - Jason says: Should you be studying for final exams? Peter says: I'm trying something new. I've come to the realization that I'm one of those people who who works better under pressure. When I study and prepare too much, I get too relaxed. I lose my edge. Remember last year when I bombed that "Hamlet" test? I think it's because I actually read half of the play. I wasn't sufficiently panicked. This year I'm going into finals completely cold. No reading or prep of any sort. Maximum fear. Maximum adrenaline. Maximum performance. Jason says: When does your report card come? I want to be sure to make popcorn. Peter says: To toss like confetti? Andy says: Peter, why aren't you studying?!

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Motivational Tools" published May 22, 2016 - Jason: Study for finals are I'll whap you with this stick. Paige: What?!? Jason: You said you weren't feeling very motivated, so I'm trying to help. Paige: By threatening me with a stick?! Jason: Look, there are two general approaches to motivating someone: sticks and carrots. Some people respond really well to sticks. Clearly not you. Paige: Clearly. Jason: Study for finals are I'll whap you with this carrot. Paige: Bring back the stick. I need it for a sec.

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Finals Simulator" published May 19, 2013 - Andy: Shouldn't you be studying?? It's finals week! Peter: Mom, relax. Jason's upstairs working on my simulator as we speak. Andy: Your what? Peter: I'm paying him to write me a computer app that will simulate taking the final exam in each one of my classes. It should be pretty sweet. He's using the 3-D engine from "Haloshock Tournament". Astronauts train with simulators, soldiers train with simulators, even some doctors now train with simulators...I figure it's gotta be an effective learning tool, right? Andy: Peter, your first two tests are tomorrow! Peter: Jason says if you'll waive his bedtime tonight he can deliver a working beta by 4:30 a.m. that'll give me a solid three hours for training. You're cool with that, right? I mean, my semester grades are at stake. Make sure the simulator accounts for my eardrums being destroyed. Jason: Was that mom screaming? She's getting louder, have you noticed?

FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Healthy Perspective" published May 22, 2011 - Andy: Have you seen Peter? He's supposed to be prepping for finals. Roger: He's outside looking at stars with Jason. Andy: Is that for his physics class, or something. Roger: I assume so. I can't imagine why else he'd be doing it. Peter: So tell me again how small and insignificant my report card is on a cosmic scale. Jason: Well, if we begin with the estimate of 170 billion galaxies in the universe...

Peter: I know, I know, I just want to find a mage to give me an intellect buff. Tomorrow's my history exam and I'm going to need every bit of help I can get. There's a druid...There's a warlock...There's a priest...Where's a mage?? Where's a mage?? Andy: Where's an Aspirin? Peter: Oh, cool! The priest says he'll pray for me!
