Topic: Gamecube shows up in Fox Trot.

[BlkPaladin]

The Gamecube was mentioned in Tuesday's strip. Its seems the author has an affinity for Nintendo since the N64's controller makes it appearence quite often in the same strip.

i noticed that, too.  i found it odd, because in previous foxtrot strips, he'd use made-up consoles/games, with the name being a combination of several titles (i.e. doomathon and gamestation).

I was fond of the "Jupiter 64 Gamestation"

Accualy he broke the name in two as Game Cube, so as not to infringe.

just an update, the topic of foxtrot a couple days ago was the economics of the xbox.  here's a link if anyone cares.

I remember another one (printed 3 aeons and 1 lifetime ago) where the mother made a list of non-violent/educational video games. I remember two, both of which are parodies of Nintendo franchises.

numero2-o: Resident Goodness
I think there were a few more but those just about did it for me. Needless to say, the kiddos were eXXXtremely dissappointed with their mothers list.

Now that I think of it, I think one of the others was a parody of Tomb Raider. Oh well, so much for games only on THE BIG N.

Again?? Bill Amend has gotta be the coolest cartoonist, and the only gamer cartoonist. A couple days ago they were talking about how much money MS looses on the XBox, too.

I read a lot of Fox Trot, and actually Bill Amend really mentions Nintendo a lot.  Jason always plays "nintendo" not video games (who doesn't), and he will combine some games names such as once it was Super Earthworm Mario Country 3, or something a long that lines.  I do remember reading about the Cube getting mentioned when one of the kids wanted to play.

Here's another comic strip that talks about GameCube.  I don't know if he's as into the Cube as Bill Amend, but it was pretty cool to see it none the less.

Franky- Or Amend's fictional console the Jupiter 64 Gamestation, a combination of the N64, Playstation, and Saturn.

I never understood comic strips. They just arn't funny. Midly funny at best. Never heard of that one specifically, if you asked me what a fox-trot was it was some kinda dance from the 20's.
