FoxTrot (2009)


Another of the comic strips kindly clipped for us from the pages of the Houston Chronicle by our friend Papa Zero, this edition of Bill Amend's FoxTrot offers a bit of commentary on Comic-Con International. Can't make the annual trek to San Diego for the convention? Apparently, all you really need is a bag of rocks, a hammer, and a distinct absence of chairs. Dressed as Superman and the Flash, the FoxTrot characters are engaged in a bit of cosplay, thus revealing one of the practical limitations of the crimson comet's typically streamlined cowl. The strip ran in newspapers on 19 July 2009--appropriately, the week before this year's convention. Thank you, Jason!

This has been my desktop wallpaper since it came out! Though, I have the corrected version. The kid dressed as the Flash is actually African American. They corrected for the online version. I love Foxtrot!

This is you desktop wallpaper, eh? That's an amazing coincidence! The printing error you've noted regarding this particular strip is interesting, too.
