FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Paywalling" published September 24, 2023 - Transcript: Miss O'Malley: Jason, about your book report... It stops in the middle of the second paragraph. Jason Fox: Right. That's because you aren't yet a subscriber. I've decided that I shouldn't be giving away my brilliant work for free, so I'm putting everything behind a paywall this year. Miss O'Malley: You want me to PAY to read your homework. Jason Fox: It's only $1.99 a month. Surely you agree that quality content deserves support. Miss O'Malley: Usually I support quality content by not giving it a failing grade. But if you'd like me to scrap that approach... Jason Fox: Tell you what- let me gift you a one-week free trial while I think about this.

They say junior year is really important for college admissions, and I don't want any leftover bad energy messing me up. Paige Fox: Pretty sure wiping your desk down with paper towels isn't going to do anything. Peter Fox: Good point. Maybe I should use steel wool. Paige Fox: I'll see if dad has a belt sander.
