FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Bugsball" published March 5, 2023 - Transcript: Peter Fox: Sir? I have an urgent physics question. Teacher: Let me save you the trouble, Peter. No It's not possible to put spin on a baseball to get it to do loop-the-loops or zigzags or any of the things you see in Bugs Bunny cartoons, so I can't help you out with this afternoon's varsity pitching tryouts. Peter Fox: Rats. Teacher: Good luck. Peter Fox: You can always tell which teachers have been doing this job for a while. Steve: He coaches tennis. I bet he saves the good tricks for them.

Lunch Lady: Well, you've got your unknown protein... stuffed with Cobenhagen cheese, in a Marlowe reduction... a side of glass onion rings... a salad of red-headed leaves... and for dessert, some big little pies made with a killer oreo espresso. Now be gone, girl, before it all gets cold. Paige Fox: This cafeteria takes its "Mystery Meat" awfully seriously. Nicole: Mind grabbing me a Colonel Mustard packet?

FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Safety First" published September 25, 2022 - Transcript: Paige Fox: I thought lunch was lasagna today. Lunch Lady: This IS lasagna. Paige Fox: It doesn't look like lasagna. It looks like gray glop. Lunch Lady: We make it that way on purpose. It's for your safety. This school houses 1,200 ravenous teenagers. Imagine the stampedes every lunchtime if the cafeteria served appetizing food. If we didn't do things like add gray food coloring to fool people, you'd likely be getting trampled right now. Paige Fox: I see. Lunch Lady: You're welcome. Paige Fox: It doesn't smell like lasagna, either. Lunch Lady: Again, you're welcome.

FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Degree of Difficulty" published September 11, 2022 - Transcript: Jason Fox: Miss O'Malley, about tomorrow's math quiz... Will you be implementing a "degree of difficulty" scale in your grading? Miss O'Malley: A what? Jason Fox: Like how in the olympic diving and gymnastics, one can score more points by doing things in a more difficult fashion. For example, if I were to take the quiz holding a sharpie with my teeth while standing on my head, could I potentially earn a score higher than the 10/10 baseline? Miss O'Malley: No, 10/10 is the maximum grade. Jason Fox: Phooey. Can I do those things anyway? I kinda spent all summer practicing. Miss O'Malley: Speaking of summer, next year's is HOW many months away?
