How Come I'm Always Luigi? (Foxtrot Collection) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

I am Jeremy and I am, unfortunately, 15 years old. A high school freshman with, thank God, four good friends but other than that a seriously boring life in a seriously boring town made livable only by the knowledge that someday in the far-off future at least this will all be over and I'll turn 16 and get a driver's license, which I so richly deserve, and then life will finally be good. Which it isn't now, although it isn't completely bad since I've got best friends (Hector and Pierce) that I can totally trust (seriously), Sara, a girlfriend (sort of) that loves me (sort of), a band that's beginning to come together, no joke, and sounds fairly okay but would sound even better if everybody would just show up for practice for once on the same day at the same time, which, by the way has only happened once. Oh, and my parents are seriously ruining my life.

This Zits treasury combines strips from Thrashed and Pimp My Lunch. That means fans can once again enjoy such Zits classic moments as the joys of instant messaging, the proper way to apply deodorant, how to put on an attitude, and much, much more. This is Zits at its best.

Synopsis:

In 1988, a comic strip burst onto the funny pages of America's newspapers with attitude, wit, and a big dose of reality when it comes to family dynamics.

Today, FoxTrot is one of the most popular and lauded strips around.

How Come I'm Always Luigi? is the latest saga of the slightly off-center Fox family, parents Roger and Andy, teenagers Peter and Paige, 10-year-old brainiac Jason, and pet iguana Quincy. This new collection of cartoons continues their mishaps and misadventures as they battle with school, work, video games, and of course, each other.

Anyone who's ever experienced the trying turmoil of family life will relish this latest collection of FoxTrot-a strip that inspires laughs and instant identification like few others.

More of the adventures of Jason (the boy genius), Paige (who isn't as ugly as Jason suggests), Peter (a normal teenage boy but a failure as an athlete), their mom Andy (who cooks nothing but health food), and their dad Roger (the stereotypical bumbling sitcom father). Since Amend is switching to Sundays-only, these books won't be coming as fast as they used to, but there's probably a couple more in the pipeline.
