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.

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.

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?
