MOTHER IS COMING is a collection of “Foxtrot”
comics. It collects the strips that appeared from January 4, 2015 – August 13,
2017. I’ll admit that since “Foxtrot” has become a Sunday only strip, it’s not
quite as entertaining as it once was when it was a daily strip. However,
despite appearing only once a week the strip still has moments that capture the
charm that made it so special. I’ve always liked “Foxtrot” because it infuses educational
areas (such as mathematics and physics) with pop culture references. The title
of the book is taken from a strip where Jason and Marcus are sitting on the
couch watching “Game of Thrones.” Jason loves the show, but his mother has told
him time and time again he is not supposed to watch it. In this strip, he and
Marcus have built a giant wall out of white Legos so they can watch the show,
only to hear Jason’s mom’s voice behind the wall.
