Amend takes the fears, hopes, dreams, and touching moments of family life and imbues them with unparalleled humanity." -The Onion More About And When She Opened the Closet, All the Clothes Were Polyester Bill Amend's FoxTrot, syndicated by Universal Press Syndicate, humorously depicts suburban living through the cavortings of the Fox family. Kids Peter, Paige, and Jason, along with parents Roger and Andy, suffer through the same fads, fixations, and familial land mines that readers know so well. As the 25th FoxTrot comic collection, And When She Opened the Closet, All the Clothes Were Polyester! features strips published from February 2006 through December 2006-including Amend's very last daily strip. Jason continues to channel his unique brand of geekiness-primarily at Paige's expense-while Peter continues to lord over them both. Parents Roger and Andy try to keep up with their children's antics, usually to no avail. Author's web site: www.foxtrot.com/
I own all of the Foxtrot books, and now have three of my five children fighting with me over them. We all love Jason, especially. The daily life situations remind us a lot of ours. My husband could be Roger, constantly struggling to drag the kids outdoors, while they hide with their video games. Another great book!

The end of bill amends career is still as funny as the start. I can't wait for the sunday only collections to start.

When I bought this book, I was expecting a somewhat bland comic book as this is (or not? hopefully not.) his last book and I thought that he might have been running out of ideas. But, after reading this book I found that I can't expect less from Amend but the best! This book is great for adults, teens (me!), and even little kids. Prepare to break your ribs laughing.
Not Dancing around the point...

Consistantly funny...with consistant characters. That's why I keep buying the Foxtrot series. And no need to waltz down to the local bricks-and-mortar, I just get them online.
As always - excellent

I adore this series and this book just adds to my admiration. I am so sorry that Amend has all but retired his series, but this book is funny and wonderful and I loved it. Of course, as always - the book is too short, I love the Treasury size much better - but I will take what I can get. BUY THIS.
