FoxTrot by Bill Amend for August 27, 2017

Amend should go back 2 weekday strips.

Now what writing utensil would Jason use in physical education? Oh, wait. They don’t USE pen(cil)s in P.E.!

And by the way, Jason is holding a No. 2 pencil for math, in case nobody felt like translating the formula (square root of 4).

I like how Jason thinks.

A normal pencil for art?

And a pencil with no eraser. For political science.

finally finished reading all of the foxtrot comics!

Knock it off. He’s your brother.

My daughter has taken her NASCAR fandom to a new level. She got some yellow tape and put a yellow stripe on all of her school supplies, denoting her “rookie” status, as she is starting high school in a week & a half. She even put one on the back of her cell phone.

Poor Peter. He will never learn that you can’t insult Jason with dweeb, nerd, geek, etc.

I would expect more from Jason — at the very least a $\log_{10} 100$ pencil.

I remember from a previous strip that Jason always did his math homework and tests using an ink pen because he never made a mistake. He must be slipping in his abilities if he has resorted to using a pencil!

Jason tends to assume positive where using Absolute Value notation would clear things up. We wouldn’t want his pencil to oscillate from -2 to 2, now, would we..?

The Dweebs eventually end up running the world, maybe that’s why we are in the shape we are in.

Don’t forget the robot masters were programmed and controlled by the geeks.

The pressurized space pen he is holding is awesome. I have several. Go to spacepen.com. (I am not associated with the company in any way – just a big fan.)

Hahahahaha!!! I wish the kids got it so easy as a “core” inclass when it comes to using #the square root of 4 pencils sooo cool

Jason is just like me.

Hopefully he’s not carrying a square root #2 pencil. He would talk forever!
