Another fantastic collection of FoxTrot comics. Getting more into the modern age (ending at 2008). I've always loved FoxTrot and these are definitely some of the better ones of the series. The September 2001 ones are interesting, and he even has a side-note on how hard it was to try and stay funny in the wake of 9/11.
