FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Retrogrades" published January 2, 2022 - Transcript: Peter Fox: My grades came. Andy Fox: And?... Peter Fox: What would your reaction be if I told you I got strats A's? Andy: Let's see... I'd probably have a heart attack from the shock. Then at the hospital I'd ask to have my hearing tested. And if my ears checked out, I'd consult a neurologist about the hallucinations I was obviously having. Peter Fox: Ok, so think of this as me sparing you all that. Actually, you still might have a heart attack. Andy Fox: PETER FOX!

FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Finals Fantasy" published September 19, 2021 - Jason Fox: Wanna hear my awesome idea for an MMO video game? Everything takes place in a hypercompetitive academic setting. A school of champions, if you will. The teachers are the questgivers, and as you do their tasks, you gain cool new powers and abilities. Eventually, you and the other players are summoned to compete in a grand week-long arena of testing, where only your knowledge, wits and stamina can save you! And if you survive, you level up, gain reputation, and graduate to the next tier. I call it "Finals Fantasy." Wanna see my design for a math wizard? Peter: I'd like to point out that I never answered "yes" to your first question.

Paige Fox: My stupid English teacher expects us to be on page 75 of this book tomorrow. Andy Fox: Ouch. That does sound hard. Anytime I start a book, I like to read the whole thing in one sitting. Having to stop at page 75 would be pure torture. Or is that not what you meants? Paige Fox: Our mother is a lot weirder than I thought. Peter Fox: Welcome to high school.

FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Hard Mode" published August 22, 2021 - Andy Fox: Need any back-to-school supplies? Jason Fox: Nah. I'm good. Andy Fox: No pencils? Pens? Notebooks? Jason Fox: I definitely won't need notebooks. Andy Fox: Why's that? Jason Fox: Fourth grade was too easy, so I want to do fifth grade in hard mode. That means no taking notes, only skimming assigned reading, and rarely ever studying for quizzes and tests. Andy Fox: So basically what your brother does. Jason Fox: Peter does hard mode? Andy Fox: Let's see if i can find the email with his grades. Jason Fox: On second thought, get me a few notebooks.
