FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Retrogrades" published January 2, 2022 - Transcript: Peter Fox: My grades came. Andy Fox: And?... Peter Fox: What would your reaction be if I told you I got strats A's? Andy: Let's see... I'd probably have a heart attack from the shock. Then at the hospital I'd ask to have my hearing tested. And if my ears checked out, I'd consult a neurologist about the hallucinations I was obviously having. Peter Fox: Ok, so think of this as me sparing you all that. Actually, you still might have a heart attack. Andy Fox: PETER FOX!

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?!
