FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Productivity Boost" published March 15, 2020 - Andy: Aren't you supposed to be working on your history paper? Peter: I'm taking a break. Every time I write a certain number of words, I reward myself with a 10-minute snack break. I find it really boosts my productivity. Welp, break time's over... back to work! Anyway, as I was saying... Andy: What are you doing?! Taking a break after each word?! Peter: Trust me, it's still a productivity boost.

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Math Help" published February 23, 2020 - Jason: Hey, Paige, mind double-checking my math on this homework problem? Paige: This is a first. Jason: I know, but Eileen Jacobson and I are locked in a dead heat for the highest grade this quarter. I can't afford to make any stupid mistakes. Paige: Let's see... Yeah, I get the exact same answer as you. Jason: Eek. Good thing I checked. Paige: What's that supposed to mean? Jason: Don't worry about it. Thanks for the help. Paige: What did you mean?!

Thanksgiving Comics - FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Giving Thanks" published November 24, 2019 - Andy: Doing homework? Jason: Yeah. For Thanksgiving my teacher wants us to list ten things we're thankful for. I came up with nine, but I'm stuck on the last one. Andy: Oh, speaking of Thanksgiving, I have some bad news. Holistic Foods was all out of pickled alfalfa sprouts. I'm not going to be able to make my famous turkey stuffing this year. So, back to your homework... You need to think up one more thing you're thankful for? Jason: Nope. All done.

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Studying Time" published October 15, 2017 - Andy says: Peter, I got an email from your physics teacher today. Peter says: Oh? Andy says: He says you haven't turned in your last three lab reports. Peter says: Oh, don't worry about those. I have a plan. Andy says: A plan?? Peter says: It's physics class. I figure by the end of the year, I'll know how time travel works. My plan is to focus on the easier assignments for now and then do the harder stuff later and travel back in time to turn it in. Genius, no? Andy says: They don't teach time travel in high school physics! Peter says: Well, then I'll take it in college, too, if necessary.

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Problematic" published April 23, 2017 - Paige says: "Mary Lou has a difficult math assignment with 10 questions she has no idea how to solve." "She asks her little brother for help, but there is a 50-percent chance with each question that he will deliberately give her the wrong answer." "What is the probability of Mary Lou receiving a passing grade of 60 percent or better on the assignment?" Paige says: Finally, a problem I can relate to. Jason says: 100 percent. Next?
