Foxtrot (Not a specific book, but rather in general)

(Uh, I'm out of gaming magazines so I can't do something on that, but don't worry, they'll be back. So for now, enjoy the summary of... a comic.) Foxtrot is a comic book about a slightly dysfunctional and very funny family and their adventures. The family is a family of five, Roger Fox: the father, Andy Fox: the mother, Peter Fox: the older brother, Paige Fox: the sister, and Jason Fox: the younger brother. Also, the creator decided to semi-quit a while ago, and now only does Sunday strips. As for personalities: Roger is a not too intelligent but well-meaning guy. Andy is a writer for a paper and is typically nice but very strict on the kids. Peter, a sophomore in high school, is not too smart either, is obsessed with watching sports but is terrible playing them, and has trouble with girls. Paige, a freshman, is obsessed with clothes, really unpopular in school, and also has trouble with guys. Lastly, Jason is the nerdiest and smartest of all of them, is completely obsessed with video games, and online games like World of Warcraft. This family goes through many crazy adventures, some examples being: Jason and his friend Marcus trying to turn the garage into a spaceship, Jason making a new iPod called the jPod and selling it in stores, and Roger getting to close to the White House in Washington D.C and getting attacked by the secret service. The main thing that I like about this comic is that it's relatable on so many levels, almost everyone can find some similarity.

I think that foxtrot is a pretty old comic; it might be fun to look in the archives and find out what the comics were like during critical moments in US history.
