FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Trick Plays" published October 18, 2020 - Peter: Wanna go to the park and help me practice the trick play I just invented? Jason: Not really. Peter: Jason, c'mon, it's the best play ever! It starts with a handoff to you, then you flea-flick it back to me... Then you roll to the right while I scramble left, then I fling it back to you over my shoulder without looking, then you run toward the end zone and just as you're about to be tackled, you lateral to me and I dance in for a touchdown. Think you can do it? Jason: Back up. You lost me. Peter: At what part? Jason: What's a handoff? Jason: And that, ladies and gentlemen, was MY trick play. Peter: Paige, c'mon, please?? Paige: Peter, no! I hate football.

FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Packing Oneself" published September 13, 2020 - Roger: How's "fifth grade from home" working out? Jason: It worked out really well. Roger: "Worked"? Past-tense? Jason: Yeah. My teacher said we can study at our own pace while the school irons out all the distance-learning kinks. I finished the fifth grade curriculum in two days. Roger: So what's your teacher having you do now? Sixth grade assignments? Seventh grade? Computer: Hi Jason. I'm looping in professor Starr from Caltech.

FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Remotely Annoying" published August 30, 2020 - Jason: If bologna is pronounced "baloney," why isn't lasagna pronounced "lasahney"? If I drink this glass of whole milk, would you say it's still whole? Ever wonder where they get seeds to plant seedless grapes? Why are these called peanut butter cups, when the cup is made of chocolate? Eileen: For what it's worth, Jason, remove lunchtime with you is every bit as annoying as in-person lunchtime with you! Jason: Phew! Thanks! I was worried!

FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Constellation Realizations" published August 16, 2020 - Jason: I just had a cool realization. Paige: About what? Jason: As you probably know, all the constellations we see are determined by our vantage point in space relative to visible stars. Since there are essentially a near-infinite number of stars and vantage points out there, it stands to reason there'd be a near-infinite variety of possible constellations as well. Which means it's likely that SOMEWHERE in the universe, you can see stars spelling out the words "JASON IS GREAT." Man, I want a spaceship so badly. Paige: Doesn't that mean there'd also be a place where stars spell out "JASON IS A DWEEB"? Jason: I need to stop sharing my realizations. Paige: Now I want a spaceship.
