The hazard of giving kids responsibility

Looks good to me, although a 2L might be a bit bulky to carry.

Better put that in an ice chest. I refuse to drink warm soda.

This has never ended well, Andy. Remember the week after Easter? Peanut butter egg and jellybean?

Today’s classic FoxTrot Sunday strip:

I used to put microwave pizzas for my lunch lol but i used to secretly eat half at snack time

This feels like something Peter would’ve done. Also feels like the parents should’ve known not to let their kids pack their own lunches after experiencing Peter pack his own lunch.

Know several people who are always so incompetent someone else always ends up doing the work for them… So, are they actually incompetent or just really lazy?

Back in elementary school, I would sometimes make myself some plain spaghetti with butter & grated cheese, then put it in my thermos. By lunch it was barely lukewarm, but it was my comfort food.

Mini Donuts, Cheesy Puffs, Liter of Root Beer? Food of the Gods!

Watch out, Jason; she’s going to make tofu sandwiches for you now!

Arrrrr!

Don’t forget the Fizzies for that science project

Cleared him errly…

I was going to comment that he did this deliberately so to get out of having to do it himself again…but then I remembered Andy’s idea of a “good lunch” shouldn’t be consumed by any actual human beings, so…

I feel like Andy should have foreseen this happening.

As Cartmen says, “yeah, I want a cheesy puff”. Of course, he also says" I’m not fat. I’m big boned".

The only reason Andy is mad is because she wanted all of those to herself while the kids are at school.

Why is that garbage in the house in the first place?

Looks like you forgot your gaming books

I wish I could have that for my lunches.

Cover the food groups, lad. Grab some jerky, pickles, and some crackers.

Andi, you left a loophole for Jason big enough to drive an Imperial battle cruiser through. Jason, add in an apple pie for the ‘fruits’ as well.

I think you’re missing the Dagwood style sandwich

You’ve really failed your kid when he gets Type 2 diabetes by the age of 14

I don’t know how it is elsewhere, but in upstate NY it’s increasingly difficult to find inexpensive diet root beer, as most of the stores, including Walmart, have gotten rid of their store brand version. The weird thing is, for a number of stores it’s only diet root beer: they still have regular root beer (which I avoid because of the sugar) and both regular and diet everything else they’ve been selling for years. It’s kind of weird.

Careful, Paige ans Peter just might get the same idea.

“Hey, Mom. Do we still have that Costco crate of sugar cubes?”

My parents always just gave us money to buy lunch at the school cafeteria.

How about some Mentos for that root beer?

Mmmm…..Groo love cheese dip.

Let the kid eat.

Cheesy puffs have protein!

Want a heart attack with that lunch too?
