The everyday chaos of the Fox family, powered by video games, science-fair schemes, and sibling warfare.
The Fox family is three children and two frazzled parents, and the comedy is all the stuff of a real household turned up loud: Jason, the ten-year-old brainiac, torments his teenage sister with bugs and computer pranks; Paige melts down over homework and crushes; Peter thinks about food and sports and not much else. Short daily strips, a joke apiece, packed with video games, math, and Star Wars gags a modern child gets instantly.
It's a family your child recognizes and jokes built out of things they already love — games, gadgets, and getting one over on a sibling. Each strip is a quick, self-contained gag, so a reluctant reader can dip in anywhere, and there's a long run of collections if it clicks.
