FoxTrot by Bill Amend for February 19, 2023

Jason needs to move on to solid geometry.

Oh….brother

Any other shape to circle: you sure get around, don’t you?

Circle: Oh… hey!

Geometric humor

He’s stuck in a vicious circle.

The characters are a bit flat

It’s at the top of his head

I got into an argument with a 90° angle…

turns out it was right

a^2+b^2=c^2 (OMG)

Oh?

Today’s classic FoxTrot Sunday strip:

I knew acute girl but she ended up in a love triangle.

To one of sufficient nerdiness and snarkiness, “I see your point” could be heard as “I see that you are zero-dimentional.”

I guess you could say those jokes fall flat.

The trigonometric squiggle didn’t say anything, it just waved.

Wow! Can it be? It is! A Jason Fox illustration that’s not demonizing or ridiculing Paige! It’s a miracle!

The circle ate some pi.

Hey! What does an acorn say when he grows up?

Geometry!

Peter can be obtuse sometimes.

The drawings are two dimensional, true, but the jokes are one-dimensional. But they are pretty good.

This strip is a headslapper.

▶️ “I feel like playing!”

⏺ “Let me go on record…”

◀️ “Back up, there, bud!”

∅ “I feel so empty!”

∀ “I’m head-over-heels for you!”

∈ “E went this way!”

∋ “No, E went that way!”

√ “Let’s get to the root of this problem.”

∞ “Will this post ever end?”

looks like some things Amend would draw on a napkin

3 dimensions if you count on the thickness of the pencil lines.

Geometry humor. A truly niche audience.

People seem to missing that it’s all one joke: that the other shapes make comments about their own shape, but the circle just keeps saying its name over and over in response to everything.

They need a Hall of Fame for this kind of genius!!!

That circle really get a round!

“That Allen wrench put a Hex on him”, said the witch

Angle (in a triangle) larger than 90°: “I’m taking out a loan. Could you cosine it with me?” Second angle: “Nah, you’re just being obtuse.”

Sorry, blockhead is 3-D joke, so what’s my point…

This had better not be the start of an arc.

Circular logic. There’s no end to it.

Today’s strip will be a hit in Flatland.

He’s the next Randall Munroe

RIMSHOT!

Then there’s Norton Juster’s brilliant little 1963 book “The Dot and the Line: A Romance In Lower Mathematics”; and the 1965 cartoon made from it by Chuck Jones, available on YT.

Oh?

@Jaques Sheet- SCORE!

I see your point and raise you a segment.

Oh?
