FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Vacation Memories" published January 12, 2014 - Mr. Ting: Welcome back to biology class. I trust you all enjoyed the winter break.

Any of you recall our discussing those? What about algae?...Perhaps something about algae?... Girl: (Psst) I'm telling you, Paige, I don't think he remembers? Paige: Sir? I believe we were on chapter one. Boy: EARLY chapter one!

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Test Scheduling" published September 8, 2013 - Dr. Ling: Yes, Paige? Paige: Sir, about next week's test...I looked at the cafeteria schedule and lunch on that day sounds totally vile and disgusting. Dr. Ling: What's that have to do with the test? Paige: This class is fifth period! I can't speak for the other students, but I'm going to have a hard time intelligently answering questions if I'm writhing on the floor fighting nausea and stomach cramps! Dr. Ling: So you want me to postpone it a day? Paige: Actually, the next day's lunch sounds equally bad. Dr. Ling: So when exactly do you propose I give the test? Paige: I figured I'd leave that up to you. Here's the cafeteria schedule. Dr. Ling: You certainly make a compelling case for "never". Paige: Oh, good, so we're in agreement.

And what would we call it if instead people were playing soccer here? Correct! Now suppose it was full of oil wells. What would we call it then?

FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "B-Positive" published September 16, 2012 - Peter: Sir, about my grade on the physics test... Teacher: A "B" as I recall. Peter: Yeah, see, the thing is I was really hoping to start this school year off on a positive note. Teacher: A "B" isn't a bad grade. Peter: Yeah, but it's not a POSITIVE grade, you know? It's just kinda neutral. Teacher: I'd call it a positive grade. Peter: But you yourself told us the symbol for positive is a plus sign. Hint hint hint... Teacher: Ah. Well, let's see what I can do... Peter: AAAA! A "D+" isn't a positive grade! Teacher: You're really confusing me here, Peter.
