Note: The comic strip FoxTrot is now printed in more than one thousand newspapers. What made cartoonist Bill Amend, a college physics major, put math in the comic? “I always try to use math in the strip to make the joke accessible to anyone,” he said. “But if you understand math, hopefully you’ll like it that much more!” We highly recommend the math humor in Amend’s FoxTrot collection Math, Science, and Unix Underpants (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2009).
