Paige: Your friend Steve works at a pizza place. Can you call him?

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Pain In the Math" published November 8, 2015 - Paige: Morton, I hate asking you for help, but my math homework is due next period and I can't get problem 14. Morton: "A school is having a homecoming dance in five days" ... "neither Paige nor Morton have dates yet" ...

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Paper Cut" published September 6, 2015 - Peter: What's wrong? Jason: I have a paper cut on my lip. Peter: Ouch... I've done that. You were licking envelopes?? Jason: Um, no. Peter: So what were you doing? Jason: Nothing. Don't worry about it. Peter: You were kissing your homework again, weren't you. In case no one's ever told you, you have a very weird love life. Jason: Trust me, these were really hot math problems.

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Peteritis" published March 8, 2015 - Peter: I'm gonna go hang out at the park. Andy: You said you had a ton of homework. Peter: I do, but it's the spring semester. Andy: What's THAT have to do with anything?! Peter: Spring semester is when seniors traditionally shift into goof-off slacker mode. College applications are done... Graduation is imminent... You can't blame a kid for wanting to enjoy his final months of high school! Even the teachers joke about "senioritis." Trust me, it's normal. Andy: Except that you're a JUNIOR, Peter! Peter: It's called "practice." You don't want me going into next year unprepared, do you?

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Petey the Procrastinator" published January 25, 2015 - Paige: Peter, you had Miss Flood for geometry class, right? Peter: Yeah, why? Paige: She gave us this handout to help us prep for tomorrow's test. The first thing that's strange is there's only one problem on it. Peter: "Petey the procrastinator puts off studying and gets a zero on the first test of the spring semester." "If the test is worth 10 percent of Petey's semester grade, what must Petey's average grade for everything else be if he wants to eke out a 'B' in the class (83 percent)?" Paige: The second thing is what does this have to do with geometry? It's algebra! I think she's losing her mind! Did she do things like this when you had her? Peter: Actually, this DOES seem oddly familiar somehow...
