anything to stay out quality brother time by doing sports, huh? (neither my older brother nor I ever played football)

I’m with Jason on this one.

Cross pollinated with Billy from Family Circus

Today’s classic FoxTrot Sunday strip:

Jason your Billy from Family Circus is showing

I was forced to watch football once. My sister took me to her high school’s game. She was a cheerleader & dated a football player. I was bored. I hate football.

Jason must have pretty mad juke skills to get that apostrophe in there like that.

Many years ago, I got involved in an after school, pick-up football game. Don’t know how long I was flat on my back, unconscious. Never played football again.

I wonder how many readers of Jason’s (or Peter’s, for that matter) age would struggle with reading the cursive script

He must have a lot of skill to make that pass route.

Looks like Billy Keane drew up that play

As if Peter wouldn’t do the same thing to spell out “Peter Fox is great” or something.

No need for a Lucy/Charlie Brown style pull the football away while trying to kick it thing?

shades of “Family Circus”!

Billy Keane won’t appreciate you doing that.

Peter really can’t the hint that Jason doesn’t enjoy this.

Jason forgot to add a comma or a period after “Help.” Not sure how he would do it, but hey, this is Jason. Maybe just one step out of his path?

Hey, a ten-year-old that knows cursive. Rare these days.

Dang, mans tight

He fades left! Right! North, south, east, west! (We call that the compass play.)

i would never be forced, i WOULD force people to play

I LOVE football

I’ve really only played in one game of football. It was in Junior High gym class. They gave me the ball and I ran for a touchdown. The other team was so shocked at the idea of me having the ball that nobody was covering me.

my brother must feel like this

Stop playing with Lucy, Charlie Brown!
