A rather depressing bit of news this morning…Bill Amend, creator of the comic strip “FoxTrot,” recently announced that his strip would cease its daily publication schedule and run new strips only on Sundays. In an age where some of the world’s worst comic strips manage to stick around, it’s a shame that a strip like “FoxTrot” can’t keep up with the pressure of filling the void. Amend noted that “classic” “FoxTrot” selections would be run on his website each day.
Some recommended reading to help you get your daily dose of new comics includes “Pearls Before Swine” and “Get Fuzzy.” And while you’re reading your archived “FoxTrot” online, check out the syndicated “Peanuts” strips or dig through the final thirty days of “Calvin and Hobbes.”
Thanks for the plug man. Foxtrot was rather hit or miss for me, but at least it had a few funnies thrown in there. Some of these just AREN’T FUNNY at all.
