FoxTrot by Bill Amend for March 23, 2014

Sounds like Candy Crush

One of the many malignant tumors that infest the video-game industry.

My favorite game has just been upgraded to give “m-points”. Now I have 4 or 5 pages of ads to page through every time I want to play. I used to be able to relax for a minute, now it just increases my tension.

After reading the comments, I am happier than ever I don’t have a “smart” phone.

I often comment on old FoxTrot strips and/or respond to comments left by others. The problem: there’s no way for other people to see these comments/replies unless they just happen to visit that exact strip again later.

Is there a known solution here? I have a kludgey solution of my own, but perhaps someone here knows of a better tool?

I will check back on this comic strip to read your replies, and you can also email me at carter dot barry at gmail dot com.

There are times when this ‘strip’ makes less sense than one of Bucky’s tirades in ‘Get Fuzzy’ which is saying a lot ! ! !

I love having a smart phone, but I don’t play games on it.

Freaking Candy Crush Saga.

“Oh, dear! Your bank account just got hacked! Apparently you didn’t spend the needed 99 tokens to keep that from accidentally happening!”

“Strange game. The only winning move is not to play.”

They’ve always been greedy. Didn’t they cash in our youths mentality for a buck already?

I don’t play video games. Comics are better.

That’s why I avoid those kinds of online games.

I suppose that’s another of those free games!!!

Uh…“Sugar sniffers”?

I agree. I am using mine more and more now that I’m retired. It is like a really portable computer.

I play plenty of free games but will NEVER put in a penny to get a power-up!

Damn !! About 99.9% of games have those. Guess which one I play the most? The one that has NO ads. I know the developers have to make money, but lets concentrate on making better apps not better ads!!

Wow…. Amend. You combine 3 of the worst mobile game in such a hilarious way

Candy Farm Dungeon is an obvious paraody of…

Candy Crush Saga ( the $0.99 )Farm Ville (how the game send invites to all the people you know on facebook)Dungeon Kepper (mobile version) (soend green gems to rush own slow/stop gameplay. Watch Nerdcube on youtube for more info)

omg I downloaded a stupid cheater game like that I lost $25 just to remove it!!!!!

Wait… Jason didn’t make that app as a “get rich quick” scheme?

probably an ea game

These are like these mobile game games that beg you to buy everything every 5 seconds and bombard you with adds

Tip- If you like these games but despise the adds (Like every normal person does), Turn on airplane mode, it gets rid of the adds. But remember to turn them off when your done!

why is he holding the phone like right in front of his face

Couldn’t Peter just turn down his phone volume to fix the music bug?
