Early FoxTrot interview

This is probably one of the first interviews Bill Amend did when FoxTrot just started. This is from the December 1989 issue of Cartoonist PROfiles.

FoxTrot - altered strips

It's actually not all that uncommon for strips to be altered when it's reprinted in book collections. There's a chock full of those in Bloom County.

It seems that Bill Amend's FoxTrot is no exception.

First off, this strip, which appeared in papers (or at the very least, The Deseret News)


Here's the version seen in the book collection:


Probably the biggest change is this one. I found this in an internet message board discussing comics:



Annnnd this is how it was reprinted:



And here's a more recent strip, from 2000 (the above two are from 1989):



In the book collection, Andy's line was changed to "I thought Bill O'Reilly seemed a little soft-spoken"

I think you can guess why the final strip was changed.

Holy Mole


Holy Mole is a delightful little strip drawn by Rick Hotton. Minimal lineart but still beautifully drawn.

I first heard about this strip when Doonesbury went on a hiatus (one of the papers added this strip as a replacement). A good decision on the paper's part, in my opinion.

The website only contains few samples. Hopefully, more will be posted soon.
