Product Description

Bill Amends treasury, Wrapped-Up FoxTrot, will leave FoxTrot fans with a lasting impression and a lot of laughs.

Now a Sunday-only strip, this anthology includes colored Sundays as well as the final dailies of the comic Entertainment Weekly said "is the most idiosyncratic one to debut since Calvin and Hobbes."

Fans get all the family angst and antics they can handle with a collection of stories and experiences that only Jason, Peter, Paige, and parents can provide. Life is always fresh, topical, and irreverent in this wacky house.

* Amend's FoxTrot won the National Cartoonists Society's prestigious Reuben Award in 2007.

Customer Reviews

Great Comic
I've been hooked on Foxtrot for a while, so I always buy the new treasuries. I felt sad a few years ago when I heard that Bill Amend was cutting back on his strips and only doing Sundays. This is one of my favorite comics along with Calvin and Hobbes.

If you're already into Foxtrot, you know you like it, so buy this book.

If you're new to Foxtrot, this is a great comic, so buy this book.

NOTE: As a treasury, this is a collection of some of his other smaller books so make sure you aren't buying repeats. What I do is only buy treasuries so I get all the comics and never overlap.

Deja vu
A common problem you see in long running cartoonists' works is the tendency to repeat old jokes redrawn in slightly different ways. I suppose its character stereotypes or the like such as "Roger burning the BBQ", "Jason at school", most of the holiday ones such as "Peter and thanksgiving", etc.

I do like Foxtrot and have most of the Treasuries but the repetition gets stronger every year. If you're a true fan you're going to buy the book anyway. If you're new to Foxtrot it won't bother you but I'd suggest buying one of the early Treasuries instead. The daily strip ending is not particularly special or anything. The book is ok but not a must have.

The Last Foxtrot Collection
I finally got to read the very last collection of the Foxtrot daily strips before Mr. Amend went to Sunday only, with "Houston, You Have A Problem", and "And When She Opened the Closet, All Her Clothes Were Polyester!" as part of the collection.

Very good read. I'll miss Foxtrot deeply.
