FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for August 23, 2011

Impressive Japanese skills there. “Moshi moshi” they’re saying.

Also correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Peter is playing Stairway to Heaven on that phone.

I used to do that while already speaking to someone; that way I wouldn’t incur a toll call. I would play Frere Jacquer or some nursery rhyme

why did Bill Amend turn into a sunday only strip foxtrot is awesome

ET will arrive shortly. Tell Andy no tofu for dinner. ET’s sick to death of tofu. Dessert is at my place.

I thought Peter got a cell phone recently (in this ten-year-old time line). Did Andy and Roger wise up and take it away? Guess I missed it.

No way is Peter going to waste his own minutes on led zeppelin. Let mom and dad foot the bill.

Forty years ago my calculator would only play “Mary had a littrle lamb” and spell “error”. Other than that, got nuthin from my undergrad degree.

Oooooh, Stairway to Heaven!

Proud Arianne is going to have a field day today!

I can play Strangers in the Night on the phone!

Reminds me of that one “Garfield” Sunday strip. He called China and the other end said something like, “At the tone, the time will be…”

Did he just accidentally call Zim?

That’s a dumb thing for Peter to do, since it means that he’s parents won’t be able to give him his allowance for a couple of months, or even a full year.

Before you could get a “Stairway” ringtone, this was your only option for doing it on a phone.

I think this is “immigrant song” if you sing it to yourself it sound like the opening and the “beee beee beeeeeeeeeeeee” is the “ ahhh ahhh ahhhhhhhhh ah”
