FoxTrot by Bill Amend for July 05, 2020

Informed? Maaaabe. Civil? Heck no. XD;

I wish I could have dreams like that.

Facebook seems to be for letting you know a guy you knew in college 20 years ago is now in the Taco Casa.

LinkedIn, on the other hand, asks you to congratulate your friends for being stuck in the same dead-end job for 15 years.

Swell

Now, if it were Twitter, that would REALLY be a crazy dream!

I’m not on Facething but my nephew is. He tells me there’s a new Pizzagate conspiracy theory going around involving vampires and the Queen of England.

Actually civil discussions on Facebook are possible, but you have to pick your friends carefully.

Left handed, eh?

If i ate left handed i would definitely lose weight. That hand shakes so badly when i try to pick up anything the food would never reach my mouth.

Do I have to go back to Texas to find the closest Whataburger?

If she wants a civil & informed discussion, she should log into GoComics.

Best Foxtrot in a long time, IMO.

I’ve never had an uncivil or uninformed discussion on Facebook. Or any other kind.

Andy, that’s not a dream; that’s a fantasy!

Sort of like having a civil political discussion in the comments on GoComics. Just a delusion and damned near impossibility.

My dad has Parkinson’s. Very frustrating.

Today’s classic Sunday strip we’re missing:

https://www.gocomics.com/foxtrot/1998/08/23

Advertisers are pulling their ads from FB because Zuke refuses to patrol the hate posts and the false news. Will he cave? Money is more potent that morals.

Roger, Andy ALWAYS wins. That’s the way your marriage has always worked.

When they started the conversation about having crazy dreams, I thought Bill was taking a page from Jan Eliot’s(Stone Soup) book and announcing that he’s going to retire and end the strip.

All the Whataburgers are in Texas. Something should be done.

Waking up from a good dream is a bigger letdown than waking up from a bad one.

And that is why I don’t use Facebook to begin with.

Everybody knows all political discussions on Facebook are intended to be civil and informed, but end up being divided into two groups of people: (1) those who agree with the discussion starter, and (2) those who are “perfect examples of just what is wrong with this country”

If only dreams could come true.

And all the Trump haters actually acted civilized? That would beat all!

You dreamed you went to Texas? Sounds like more of a nightmare these days depending on where you’re currently living.

Okay, today and today only, I will not complain about the “political” comments here, because Andy brought it up in Panel 5! So, have at it, all you politicos! d;o)

Kind of like the political commenters here on gocomics. Do they really think they’re going to change somebody’s mind?

Great. Now, I’m craving What-A-Burger.

I’m still not used to the Foxes keeping their eyes shut tight until they have coffee.

We went to a Whataburger in Texas a couple of years ago. It was hands down the worst burger I have ever had, starting with the fact that it was cold.

Why bother having political discussions anywhere?

Whataburger patty melts rock.

Whataburger! The state burger of Texas!

Facebook is about interacting with friends. If you choose to interact with others, that’s on you.

To my thought Roger wins on nightmare, that dream is worse then what I would dream.

Roger and Andy want different things from life, clearly.

If you eat standing up, the calories drain out of the food before it gets to your mouth.

And if you choose your friends on facebook wisely, you can live in an echo chamber of agreeable dis (or mis) information for days and weeks at a time. On the other hand, the folks I’m FB friends with ARE civil even during disagreements, because that’s one of the decision points when I friend someone or allow them the reciprocal privilege. (The other: I have met them face to face at least once, or about 0.2% of the time, I would like to).

Whataburger is awesome…

What is loife

This same comic has been up for 3 days, why aren’t they changing it?

me the best

There’s an app that reveals how stupid your friends are. It’s called Facebook.

These people need a good dose of insomnia.

Why can’t I pin comics.

….

Ah yes Facebook. Where you can see an uneducated 15 year old making a well grounded and informed argument with a 47 year old with 3 PhDs making an argument with no information to back it up because of a rumor.

pov: left handed
