Last week i made a meta post that there were no Sunday comic strips. Turns out i was wholly incorrect. I started to think about it, the first strip ran on a Sunday.

I was looking for a strip from 1990 yesterday and realize the database i am using is missing huge swaths of strips in 1989-1991. So i broke out my physical books, and sure enough there are Sunday strips.

FoxTrot is an American comic strip written and illustrated by Bill Amend. The strip launched on April 10, 1988, and it originally ran seven days a week. From December 31, 2006 onwards, FoxTrot has only appeared on Sundays.

The strip revolves around the daily lives of the Fox family, composed of parents Andrea (Andy) and Roger and their children, Peter, Paige, and Jason. It covers a wide range of subject matter, including spoofs of pop culture fads, nerd culture, complex math, and popular consumer products.
