I don’t get it… if Jason had a good day, why would that affect Peter or Paige? Did the entire school have tests that day?

i don’t know what it is, but, ever since Bill stopped doing the daily comics and only stuck with sunday funnies… i just don’t find it funny anymore, or i just don’t care as much about it anymore… i know, i know, then why do i read it? i don’t know, maybe because i did like it at one point, on it’s regular run and hope to still find it funny? but i lost a lot of respect for the guy, who said he just couldn’t keep up with deadlines, and we only get one color comic a week? There are 1000’s of comic artist who do this job, and strive to be as popular as foxtrot once was… don’t be lazy bill… get back on track… or we lose any notion of caring about these characters.. my 2 cents.

@Bman73I don’t blame Bill for quitting the dailies. He rarely phoned them in, and it took a lot of work. His Camp Foxtrot works are some of the best, and he was always up to date with current pop culture (I just wonder if Peter would still be a Springsteen fan). I also miss seeing the characters develop on a daily basis too, but I am happy to get to see what these fictional characters are up to every Sunday.

Looks like Roger is going to be stuck listening to his son for a while.

Bill said that he went Sunday only so he could spend more time with his family.
