Enormously FoxTrot (Volume 10)

My youngest son broke his leg and ankle in five places two years ago. He tried to fly, jumped off a hill and landed with leg burst underneath him. He endured several bouts of surgery, three months of bed rest, and a seventh grade stolen. But the universe holds secrets, she does, and she gave my son a grand gift - the gift of art.I always knew my son loved to draw, but he spent him time in sports until the accident. All of that bed rest forced me to find books and films to keep his mind occupied. And one of those books changed his life. Enormously Fox Trot opened up the world of comics to my son, and he drew, drew, and drew some more, penguins in space, robots with necks that swooped under and around like an emu.Today, my son is a freshman at the High School for the Arts. He plans to become an animator, and he has the talent, and thanks to his love for Fox Trot, the drive to do it.If you are an artist like Bill Amend, please know that your work may touch others in ways you can't imagine. Please know that your words, your music, your drawings may save a tiny life.Thank you.

Always funny and the family dynamic is spot on

This is one of the better Foxtrot collections out there that I think. If you can get it in a good price then I say pick it up and if you can't then go and find the Best of Foxtrot instead because that is the best of the best for Foxtrot.

FoxTrot follows a family of five through their bizzare everyday lives. Roger, the father, is a mid-level office worker, and his wife Andy is a successful columnist. Peter, the oldest child, is a high school senoir with a passion for sports but without the skill. Paige, the middle child, enjoys shopping but hates schoolwork. Jason, the youngest child, enjoys schoolwork and harrassing his sister.Bill Amend had been writing Foxtrot for about four years when he drew the comic strips in this collection, so at this point he had refined his humor without needing to reuse any older storylines. Most of the comic strips play up the sibling rivalry between Peter, Paige, and Jason very well. The book also features a number of comic strips that feature Peter's girlfriend Denise, who is not featured as much in more recent strips, and it also includes a large number of references to pop culture. The longer storylines in the book include two vacations by the Fox family: one to an amusement park, and one to the hot desert in the summer. Amend also drew several new panels for the center of the book that show Paige's dreams about her idealized French lover Pierre. The book still occasionally tocuhes on serious subjects, too, such as when Peter experiments with chewing tobacco.Overall, this is classical Foxtrot humor. Foxtrot fans should definitely buy this book, but even casual readers of Foxtrot comic strips will find something to enjoy in this book.

I love any and all Foxtrot comics. It was sad to see them go.I have them all. If you like Foxtrot and don't have this one, why not?Get it. Read it. Pass it on to your grandchildren.

If there's one cartoon comic book you should get, it's "Enormously Foxtrot." Entertaining, witty, and comical, it's the perfect reading during your spare time. Jason continues to play tricks on his sister, Paige continues to physically torment Jason, and Peter is just a regular teenager who has an appetite of a vacuum cleaner. Meanwhile, the parents try to deal with them and their own lives and still be a happy family. This gigantic collection is enjoyable and would help you pass those long hours at home.

It was just what I was looking for and it was delivered promptly.

I would recommend this book to anyone with a family, no matter what role you play. Foxtrot relates to all sides of the family. It truly is amazing how this comic strip isn't in every newspaper in circulation! If you do not buy this book, you will miss out on a lot of fun!

Great series.
