Amusing.

SQUID GAME?

DID FOXTROT JUST REFERENCE SQUID GAME OF ALL THINGS THIS IS A FAMILY FRIENDLY STRIP

You shoot them all, Marcus. They didn’t reach by the time limit.

When I was a kid, “red light green light” was the game Engineer Bill played to get us to drink our milk.

I like tug o’ war.

You better hope Andy doesn’t see this, Jason, and start browsing your Netflix history.

I’m reminded of an episode of “Bob’s Burger”, where (the nine year old) Louise is referring to “Game of Thrones” storylines, and a suspicious Bob asks her if she’s seen GoT without parental consent.

Just don’t invite them for dinner…

Today’s classic Sunday strip we’re missing:

Aren’t they a bit young for squid game?

First Game of Thrones and now this.

Perhaps they don’t move when the light is red, which, of course they can’t and shouldn’t. And when it’s green they don’t go, which again, they can’t.

Snow goons!

Don’t blink.

Ah, thanks comments, I know of Squid Game, but have never watched it so didn’t realize that’s what their costumes were referencing. So whenever a snowperson moved during red light, they were going to pelt them with their snowball piles. And now disappointed because they never get to throw them. Although they seem too intelligent to have thought they’d ever move.

…anyone else puzzled by the idea that Andy would let Jason watch “Squid Game” to begin with?

It took this long for a Squid Game reference. I’m surprised.

I have no idea what Squid Game is, but the game “Red Light, Green Light” has been around for over 150 years and is a variation of “Mother, May I”. I think it sad that children of recent times have been deprived of playing these games, as evidenced by some of the above comments. I have a book “The Games Treasury” that describes the game and its history and I played it myself as a child in the 50s and 60s.

Is that a “Snow-Paige” with her back turned to the other snow figures?

luv thus squid game cameo

You all have explained the Red light, Green light thing, but why are Jason and what’s his name wearing masks and what are they going to do with those snowballs?

More like “Simon Says”.

How do kids in cartoons make so many snowmen without ever reducing the amount of snow on the ground?

What are the masks they are wearing?

ive never watched a single episode lol

lol you kill them if they don’t make it

i hate that show for appearing everywhere so. so. so. so. so. so much
