I wonder if all the fox trot fans out there know that Peter's girlfriend Denise is blind? I though she was wearing the sun glasses for style but turns out she's a blind character! I was reading some old books and noticed that she reads brail, touches things to "see" them and often makes a reference to how glad she is she can't see what's going on.
That finally explains the sunglasses...
On another note, I started reading Fullmoon o sagashite by Arina Tanemura. I'm addicted to shinigamis...First bleach, now this! It's not a bad series, it's short (7 books), has good drawings, a cute storyline and a really hot guy wearing a cat-heared hat (no fan service there, nooo) It's not the book of the century, but I have to admit i've turned into a Takuto fan (the same way cute demon/ghosts always get my fandom...damn you chrono!)

Date: 2006-01-26 06:25 am (UTC)Agreed on making Foxtrot a television series. The strip is mainly about a geeky kid, and while many people can relate to that (I love the D&D strips!), a lot of people don't. That, and t.v. shows usually butcher what I liked in the first place. (And fear! They'd give the characters voices!) Bill Amend seems to hold Bill Watterson (who created Calvin and Hobbes) in high esteem, and if Bill Watterson would turn down an offer to make his strip into a t.v. show (yes, he was offered it), I bet Bill Amend would too.
