FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Weird L" published February 7, 2016 - Andy: Excited for Super Bowl L? Roger: Actually, they're skipping the roman numerals this year. I just plain ol' "Super Bowl 50." Andy: How comie? Roger: Who knows. Maybe they thought using an "L" all by itself would be confusing or weird. Andy: Really? It doesn't seem all that weird to me. Peter: Well, keep in mind you and I might be a tiny bit numb to numeric weirdness. Jason: Excited for super bowl (7²+1)?

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 - "Super Ready" published February 1, 2015 - Roger: You boys ready for the Super Bowl? Jason: You could say we're "super ready." Marcus: We found a website with instructions on how to be total football fanatics. Jason: We've got our scarves... Marcus: Some good off-color songs to sing... Jason: A couple of pints... Marcus: A ball to kick around with our mates... Roger: Was this website based in the U.K. by any chance? Jason: Maybe. Why? Marcus: Queen's beans! How is the score 7-0 already?!

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Keeping It Clean" published September 14, 2014 - Peter: Coach, you've got to do something about Reynolds. Coach: What do you mean? He's playing out of his mind! He's driving all over the place... Tackling runners left and right... He sacked their quarterback while he was on his hands and knees, for crying out loud! Peter: Yes, and his pants are getting covered with dirt and grass stains! I'm gonna have to scrub those things for hours at the rate he's going, and I'd really like to avoid that. The detergent makes my fingers itchy. Could you bench him for the second half, at least? Maybe? Please? Coach: Fox, pass me that 10-gallon cooler of water over there, will ya?

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Fourth Downton and Goal" published February 2, 2014 - Andy: Mind if I change the channel? "Downton Abbey" is about to start. Roger: You're joking, right? This is the Super Bowl! It's like the centerpiece of American culture! Beer! Sodas! Uncle Jim's clam dip! You'd seriously rather watch some British PBS tea-sipping drama? Just record it with the DVR and watch it after the game is over! Or if you really can't wait, go watch it upstairs on the little TV in our bedroom. But you're dreaming if you think Peter and I are going to let you waltz in here and change the channel, mid-third-quarter... Peter: Actually, I don't mind. Lady Rose is super hot. Roger: Can someone help me get this little TV to work?! Andy: I went with darjeeling this week. Peter: Jolly good choice, mother!

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Slowhandy" published October 13, 2013 - Andy: What's with all the tools? Roger: I was thinking I'd fix that loose gutter. Andy: The one I asked you to fix five weeks ago? Roger: Yeah. Andy: The one I also asked you to fix four weeks ago? And three weeks ago? And two weeks ago? And about a dozen times last week? I had someone come out and fix it on Friday. Roger: Oh. Well, you can't say I didn't try. Guess that gives me a free afternoon to watch football, at least. I hope you're taking notes, son. Peter: That's weird. Mom just said the same thing to Paige.
