FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for July 17, 2012

Hey, Peter, anything in the newspaper? (Sure, there is text, photographs, obituaries, horoscopes, sudoku, crossword puzzles, comic strips, sports statistics, want ads…)

“What’s on the Telly?”“Looks like a Penguin.”

Is it “Mess with Paige” day already? Seems like it was here yesterday…

No, Paige, you’re just dealing with young males. i was one once. It’s fun to take an idiom and respond to it literally.

this strip was actually funny today, that’s a rare one.

You do know that these are all classic strips when he used to daily strips right? And a lot of them are from the 1990s.

It was only 2001 when this strip was originally published. VCRs were still the most common apparatuses then; DVD technology was read-only, and DVRs didn’t exist yet.

That is a mathematician’s answer right there.

I don’t know about you, but I usually ask a person what they are watching, not what’s on tv. That is unless they are looking at the tv listings. Then I would ask what’s on TV.

You’re right, he wasn’t being snarky, just being honest. Makes me wonder what’s in paper.

Who’s on first base?
