''FoxTrot'' is an American comic strip written and illustrated by Bill Amend. As of December 2006, ''FoxTrot'' was carried by more than 1,200 newspapers worldwide. The strip launched on April 10, 1988. In 2006, Amend announced that he would cease drawing ''FoxTrot'' seven days a week and the final daily strip ran on December 30 of that year. Beginning the next day, and every week since then, ''FoxTrot'' has strictly appeared on Sundays.〔 The strip revolves around the daily lives of the Fox family, composed of parents Andrea (Andy, 42) and Roger (45), and their children, Peter (16), Paige (14), and Jason (10). It covers a wide range of subject matter, including spoofs of pop culture fads, nerd culture, and popular consumer products. ==History== Amend states that after he submitted strips for three years, in 1987 Universal Press Syndicate offered him a contract. ''FoxTrot'' was first published on April 10, 1988, under the syndication of Universal Press Syndicate. On December 5, 2006, Universal Press Syndicate issued a press release stating that Amend's strip, ''FoxTrot'', would turn into a Sunday-only strip. Amend stated that he wants to continue doing the strip, but at a less hurried pace. This news was followed by several weeks of the characters discussing a "cartoonist" semi-retiring to Sundays only, and what methods he would use to phase out the daily strips. The last daily strip was printed on December 30, 2006. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「FoxTrot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
