FoxTrot by Bill Amend for April 26, 2020

I always preferred going to work, though the option to work from home was always welcome. Now that I’m retired, the family is down to two people who get along quite well most of the time.

putting your own employees in spam blocking still doesn’t sound very professional

I’m actually surprised they haven’t made Roger work from home before. Jason always corrects his work and IIRC he has saved and made the company quite a lot of money through it. Roger gets no cut of course because corporate culture but still.

That’s unexpectedly astute of Roger…

Where’s the whiskey or vodka whenI need it!!!!

Today’s classic Sunday strip we’re missing:

Assuming he’s been home for 60 days, hat’s “literally” about 200 times per second. Jason must have written some code for him.

Here, where I live and when I live (we call it 19th century), it’s very rude to walk around with a mug of coffee. Actually, it’s rude to drink coffee in a mug. You need a cup and saucer of course. The worst would be walking outside, in the street, with a coffee beverage in hand but I don’t think anyone could steep so low. Anyway, in today’s strip it doesn’t matter. The cup is filled with gin, that she needs to go through the days with this family in confinement.

I bought a bottle of sanitizer spray, manufactured in response to the shortage. It’s basically alcohol in a spray bottle. The label reads “.. in a NON=STERILE solution.” Wait. WHAT?! It’s HAND SANITIZER! And the solution is non sterile?

In the words of the Beagle Boys, “We gotta git outta HEH!”

I’ve heard that some siblings are suddenly getting along. Maybe it’s an opposites thing. If the siblings usually get along, now that they have to do so, they don’t. Of course, Paige and Jason are too busy squabbling to know what the rest of the world is doing.

Just yuck

Kudos to Mr. Amend for injecting humor with the standard Fox family dynamics into these current events and related developments.

They could probably do a DNA test on it Jason.

Knowing you, Jason, and the other members of the family, the fact that there are boogers in Paige’s hand sanitizer is good enough for me.

Did Jason just admit he put somebody else’s boogers in Paige’s Purell?

At least he’s not in “Breaking Cat News” where four cats and two toddlers are supervising the adults.

At least he has a job. How many people will lose everything to the government before this “crisis” is over?

This isn’t “Non Sequitur,” so why does the last panel have a non sequitur?

You become a billion seconds old when you are 36 and a half years old, assuming that it takes roger 5 minutes to write a email that would’ve taken him over 182 years.

Back when I was a productive member of society, I had no interest in work-at-home. When I’d go on vacation, someone was sure inquire, “Will you answering email?” I could truthfully say that I didn’t have the capability.

I was wondering why all of these were six panel comic strips until t I looked at the calendar.

This is the first time I’ve seen this strip. I’ve looked at three of them. It’s pretty good. I came here because I was reading a Big Nate strip and someone said that this was its rival strip.

Is there a point to the last part with Paige and Jason other than an additional gag?

As smart as Jason is supposed to be, he’s still acts like a two year old.

It’s May first and this one is still up… whatever..

One billion!!!??!?!!??!
