Description
Let me tell you a story.In the olden days, when I was but a wee young'un, there were no such things as 'webcomics'. Comics were either the glossy magazine type comics full of bulging muscles that looked to be bordering on really unhealthy, or simple funny ones in the newspaper.
Unfortunately, as a young'un, newspapers were BORING (still true today), so I just had the compilation books.
In those days, before videogame webcomics came about to sympathise with the nerds, there was Foxtrot. And how glorious and nerdy it was.
Where else would you read about the decisions you have to make when going to see the X Files movie? (Scully wig or Mulder wig? AUGH TOO MUCH DECISIONS.)
I love Foxtrot.
I also grew up on Garfield, but no one cares about Garfield anymore. (I don't mind that you sold out, Jim Davis, but you can sell out waaaaaay too much and that you did.
Also webcomics started in like the 1980s before I was born so basically everything you just read is wrong.)
Peter looks unnaturally skinny in this picture, but he looks fine in my sketchbook. SIGH camera.

This is perfect, especially Jason's maniacal grin. XD Β Jason sorta reminds me of Curly from "Hey Arnold".Β

Foxtrot is one of my favorite strips EVER. Right next to Calvin & Hobbes, Pearls Before Swine, Zits, and Get Fuzzy.

Jason rules, what other kid plays Doom, watches Star Trek, and loves Math? Reminds me of me actually.

You perfectly capture their personalities! Jason looks so deviously Awesome- mainly cause of his grin. Paige looks like the annoyed grump she is after one of Jason's shots gets through (presumably why he looks so happy, lol) and Peter, as usual, is peacefully oblivious.. for now.
Very, very nice! You can tell they're Bill Amend's characters, but they have your unique touch. Excellente!

I guess I got into webcomics because of my love of comic strips like Garfield, Foxtrot, The Far Side, and my fav: Calvin and Hobbes.
Awesome pic

Used to absolutely adore this strip, and this is a really spectacular interpretation of the three main characters.

I've been a Foxtrot fan for so many years....!
I love how these characters are immediately recognizable despite the different style. That takes talent!
(and I love Jason's grin... ahahaha... Paige, you're right to be worried)

There's not much FoxTrot fan art here, and as such, very few alternative interpretations as well. Thanks for providing us with this one!

I loved Fox Trot and I can safely say that it's my favourite newspaper comic so far. Even after it ended (*sniff*) it's still fun to come across certain strips.
My favourite character has to be Jason, just because he's so loveably geeky. x3
