Why is comic making a 15 year old joke?
Why is comic making a 15 year old joke?
Gabriel Stewart
Zachary Jackson
The joke isn't 'lol vidya', it's 'lol at this dumb trend of remastered pseudo-retro vidya from 10-20 years ago'
I assume the blond character is actually older than he looks and the additional joke is that he's behaving as he went back to being a teen
Jose Nguyen
Because WoW Classic just released.
>I assume the blond character is actually older than he looks and the additional joke is that he's behaving as he went back to being a teen
Jason has been a teenager since the nineties, user.
Kayden Reyes
Well, WoW Classic just came out and it's the full vanilla experience, including 3+ hour server cues.
Wyatt Rivera
Jason’s not even a teen he’s like 10-12 years old
Jack Morris
I'd watch a Foxtrot cartoon.
Or at least web shorts.
Owen Morgan
>The joke isn't 'lol vidya', it's 'lol at this dumb trend of remastered pseudo-retro vidya from 10-20 years ago'
Foxrot ain't that clever, the joke is "lol this kid's a fuckken nerd"
Grayson Hernandez
Do you not know how Newspaper comics work? Most characters don’t age and just have a sliding timescale
Nathan Parker
Dylan Miller
Met Bill Amend last weekend at Keystone Comic-Con he was such a super nice guy
Jaxon Phillips
>there are probably comics of this kid playing wow when it first came out
Eli Carter
William Morris
Oh my god, I finally noticed.
The kid has glasses.
I thought he was blind for the past 25 years.
Joshua Evans
Colton Brooks
Easton Nguyen
One thing I was always puzzled by with this strip was that Paige never had a steady boyfriend. I always thought she was cute.
William Nelson
Grayson Wright
Dominic Jones
Amend is a man of the culture
Isaiah Nguyen
Yeah the only guy that tries to get a date with her is usually this guy
Evan Flores
Lincoln Turner
Daniel Rivera
Foxtrot is so good, god tier newspaper comic
Julian Campbell
Lincoln Thomas
Hunter Carter
Anthony Fisher
Brayden Taylor
John Flores
“Someday I will Rule You All!” Is what he taps in Morse Code
Aaron Murphy
user, you do know they had an actual blind character in the strip and that Jason never acted blind in any way, right?
Xavier Bailey
Thomas Moore
Jordan Anderson
Robert Allen
Didn't Foxtrot reference Homestuck or something
Nicholas Lewis
Is he still a sissy who's too afraid to get /ss/-d by Lara Croft, though?
Gavin Bailey
I dunno why but I love when comics and cartoons do this and reference the old art styles.
Daniel Perry
Robert Gonzalez
David Richardson
Best newspaper comic.
Jack Stewart
Stephan Pastis btfo
Isaiah Nguyen
Jason Gomez
Adam Gutierrez
What makes it so good, I wonder?
Nolan Martin
Inoffensiveness? I have a hard time actually seeing anyone be upset at any strip from here, even in current year.
David Hall
Tyler Johnson
Matthew Jackson
Jose Price
James Martin
Lincoln Taylor
What happened to Denise? I thought she was good for Peter
William Anderson
She was mentioned in one of the modern strips
Connor Howard
Alexander Smith
Blake Ross
Christian Miller
Honestly, Stephan Pastis shits on his author avatar a lot so he's probably in on the joke
Gabriel Turner
Because this generation is pretty slow. :-/
Kayden Reed
Comic Strip Writers poke fun of each other and do crossovers or in jokes all the time
Brayden Diaz
Nicholas Williams
Aiden Stewart
Elijah Morales
The joke is that he's using the ridiculous amount of time everything takes in the game to stall for time
Hunter Perez
Aww, that's sad. I wish they aged up. Would be nice. Foxtrot is my favorite
Luis Mitchell
Bump
Zachary Sanders
1/3 cheese, 1/3 sausage and unless they ordered more than one whole pizza it should be 1/3 mushroom. Do people struggle that much with math?
Jack Lopez
I mean many people aren’t great at math, but it’s more the principal of what Jason did of making the pizza order more complicated than it needed to be
Justin Thompson
This. The joke is that you still get the same thing in the end, even if you had to be annoying about it.
Joshua Miller
It would work better if the first two weren't so trivial.
Cameron White
I would.
Bentley Bailey
It's what I would do if I knew math like am Asian.
Angel Jenkins
Hot!
Jose Ortiz
Thomas Roberts
I laughed out loud
based FoxTrot
Nathan Adams
You know I used to think this kind of thing was a joke, until I started reading the worldbuilding stack-exchange.
Jason Rogers
This shit happens so much that I can't help but laugh, but it's a laugh out of desperation. A couple of my players tend to think less as their characters and more about what they can read on Wikipedia.
Thomas Smith
oh god the mom is so fucking hot I would destroy her
the sleeveless shirts drive me crazy
Jaxson Howard
>not liking Zippy
pleb: filtered
Mason Bailey
>I assume the blond character is actually older than he looks
Holy shit the absolute state of this board, not knowing Foxtrot.
Caleb Martinez
Wow, this one actually made me laugh a good belly laugh. Bill Amend is pretty good.
Caleb Lee
thank you, was wondering what it was.
Landon Bennett
All I remember of this comic strip is before the LoTR movies came out, two characters were auditioning for Frodo and Samwise but spoke all the original dialogue, and apparently that would have made the movies ten times as long. That stuck with me, for some reason.
James Morris
Hey, I saw that, too, and thought about making a thread on Yea Forums.
Mason Bennett
it has the be the general chill-ness, at least if you can call it that. I met bill amend at Indiana comicon 2018 and he was really nice, down to earth kind of guy.
Josiah Thomas
Bill Amend actually did a few guest strips for Penny Arcade.
Camden Walker
>the additional joke is that he's behaving as he went back to being a teen
The joke is that he's a little shit who's doing things the hard way to monopolize the computer and fuck with his older sister, dingus.
The question you should be asking is: why a household in would have only a single computer in the living room for the whole family to use rather than the kids having their own laptops?
Michael Bell
oh good. I'm not the only one to remember those. Pretty sure I got those up on my shelf. I even gave a copy to my cousin's ten year old. Didn't even think how dated the references may be.
Isaiah Harris
Nathan Allen
oh wow. never realize how much Roger looks like my uncle.
Hunter Price
Damn. I too remember when Apple not running Flash jokes were cutting edge. Good thing everyone uses Flash now and Apple is a dead brand.
Aaron Bell
"It's cold in here. Hoth cold."
"Quick move around. Make more Star Wars references."
Liam Richardson
Probably one of the few strips to acknowledge 9/11 as an in-universe event.
Kayden Sanchez
this is me right now
I've lost control of my life
Ryan Barnes
Matthew Lewis
The joke is actually he likes that it takes longer because it delays him from giving his sister access to the computer to do homework.
Gabriel Martin
Blake Garcia
I remember when Mortal Kombat just came out and Jason's mom was giving him shit because it would teach him bad things, like combat being spelled with a "k"
Evan Wright
Gavin Cruz
Oliver Collins
Isaac Lopez
>I assume the blond character is actually older than he looks and the additional joke is that he's behaving as he went back to being a teen
Nowhere in the strip does it say that The Blonde Character played WoW back in 2006, just that he's playing Classic now.
Landon Brooks
Jackson Watson
Julian Martinez
Isaiah Bennett
Tyler Ross
The joke in this is as subtle as a rock
Joseph Anderson
Why does a joke have to be subtle? sometimes it’s nice to have a very obvious jokes
Matthew Foster
Alexander Diaz
Jackson Nelson
I love foxtrot
Charles Walker
Alexander Adams
The First Strip
Easton Bailey
Brayden Walker
Brandon Miller
Evan Gomez
Ian Cox
Carter Young
There isn't enough whipped cream if you can still see pancake.
Nicholas Martin
Joshua Reyes
Jaxon Scott
user that’s pie from the color probably pumpkin or Sweet Potato
Joshua Clark
There isn't enough whipped cream if you can still see pie.
Kevin James
user let it go, does it really matter in the scheme of things? The point of the joke still comes across and is executed well
Benjamin Morris
part of the joke would be lost if you couldn't see the pie underneath
James Garcia
But like for real, that Raptor quest to the silver in the barrens fucked sucked.
So did the feather one.
Fuck I wana play classic.
Adam Evans
Leo Smith
Fuck McDonald's fries are so good.
Matthew Ramirez
It was a comment on the deliciousness of whipped cream, not the art,
you
dumb
fucks
Christopher James
user your the one complaint about the amount of whipped cream on a drawing of a pie... maybe you need to re-evaluate your life
Sebastian Clark
Jaxon Powell
Carson Moore
Is the older brother still banging the blind chick?
Adrian Lopez
She was for the most part phased out with a few references popping up from time to time now
Dylan Rivera
I wasn't complaining about it, I was agreeing with it, as in "yeah, smother that food!"
you
dumb
fuck
Logan Watson
Thats kinda sad, I remember liking their interactions and the occasional blind humor.
Isaac Hernandez
>Why is comic making a 15 year old joke?
>In a comic about rereleasing a 15 year old game
Is this too deep for you?
Andrew Hughes
Ryan Adams
Flash is still good and Apple is still shit.
>inb4 profitability is quality
Zachary Foster
applies to runescape as well lol
Hunter Williams
My family is still like that. One PC for four brothers, two in college, one in high school, and one in middle school.
Chase Stewart
I used to do this all the time.
Kevin Reyes
Holy shit, these aren't abhorrent. I'm actually chuckling sensibly at some of them. They're no Heathcliff, though.
Matthew Gray
>Paige deep-throating that rainbow pop
Camden Phillips
She has all of those fantasies about older guys so it's more that she isn't really looking for one her own age than anything else.
Matthew Perry
Well, that first answer is 1, according to Wolfram Alpha.
Caleb Gutierrez
>Doesn't know about Foxtrot
Zoomers disgust me
Hunter Barnes
I always throw all my clothes together colors and whites on hot/cold and I've never had this problem
Oliver Garcia
I liked this one. Made me smile.
Adam Jones
Where is Heathcliff
Caleb Cook
I quite dig the old title font
Ethan Bennett
wow. that's a webcomic tier joke, but delivered with an edge and panache that most webcomics dare not approach.
i'd not seen this before, and now i'm really interested to see how amend's writing has changed from the beginning. i wonder what resources and techniques he used to rise from the ordinary to becoming a beloved daily newspaper comic.
Colton Barnes
Bump
Christian Evans
Foxtrot is still being made? i though the writer quit over a decade ago.
Zachary Wright
i think that's around when he moved from daily strips to sunday strip only, which is probably what you're kind of remembering.
Chase Miller
she's cute
Jace Jackson
>Yea Forums enters an LCS
David Davis
Damn, they've really not aged in this entire time? It's been 31 years. I guess only Funky Cancerbean and For Better Or For Worse care to acknowledge the unstoppable march of time.
Christian Gray
Michael Russell
Gasoline Alley, too.
Gabriel Brown
Ethan Harris
"Magsweeto" is so fucking funny to say.
Jaxon Davis
Winkerbean's timeline doesn't make much sense either seeing as how Mindy was a few years younger than Funky at one point and is now about half his age.
Bentley Wilson
Baby Blues too
Jaxson Smith
Baby Blues is more extremely slow aging.
Julian Howard
Here's the Pearls revenge strip.
Isaiah Davis
heh.
Landon Flores
This was how I spent most of my spring breaks in college.
Jose Murphy
Huh, I think I could actually do those now.
Nathan Allen
Yeah, and for what it's worth for a boomer Bill Amend seems surprisingly very in touch.
Levi Sanchez
is that a The Joy Of Tech reference
Elijah Bailey
Why are you playing a 15 year old game?
Carter Walker
>one hand
and into the trash it goes.
Anthony Jones
>Hark! A Vagrant
Based. Also F.
Eli Barnes
That's exactly the kind of shit I made when I was a kid.
Jayden Harris
Considering how conservative syndicates can be, I'm surprised that they've always let Amend get away with such small swimsuits on Paige.
One strip had her and her friend complain about it being so cold in a theater only to pull away and show them in clothes so small they were practically naked. I guess that got by through a "Those damn kids and their clothes" deal.
Elijah Long
Gavin Garcia
And you're hogging it to go on fucking Yea Forums?
Cooper Baker
>magsweeto
I would have gone with Swagtreato, myself.
Levi Cruz
Newspaper comic characters never age user. That kid's the same age he was in 1989
Luke Myers
...that almost makes sense.
Jacob Torres
Foxtrot pioneered nerd humor, user. Long before web comics became a big thing.
Brandon Long
The sad thing is that DPS number isn't super impressive anymore. In Mists of Pandaria people were regularly hitting for millions.
Jayden Lee
That sounds disgusting. Fucking kids got no taste.
Easton Rivera
This would work better if D&D hadn't renamed Balrogs Balors.
Mason Scott
The Silver one was fine if you teamed up with someone. The one where you have to rebuild the samophlange manual was complete ass though.
Cameron Roberts
They might be playing Palladium Fantasy.
Matthew Young
He also did one where the little nerd kid was telling a "scary story" of a company who designed a computer but it had no floppy drive, back when floppy disks were the standard for data storage and transfer.
Nathan Morgan
Bentley Carter
Benjamin Johnson
Ian Ramirez
she is waaaaay to cute to not have 100 boyfriends this is highly unrealistic
Nathan Anderson
She IS a freshman. Not even other freshmen will date such an inferior lifeform.
Samuel Campbell
>implying a bunch of horny high school students wouldn't want a girl that would be an easy lay
Ethan Turner
>amend to that
Is this a pun? I don't get it.
Eli Morris
Yes it’s a play on Foxtrot creator Bill Amends name and the phrase “Amen to That”
Owen Young
fa/tg/rognard here, literally my experience playing HackMaster
Grayson Hughes
