Peter’s always been a little slow on the uptake. Plus, the kneepads don’t immediately make sense unless you know how hard he’s going to have to work to get those soda spills up.
This is a really old strip, BTW. 1997 if I’m reading the copyright correctly. I could check my collection volumes but they’re not indexed. =)

How old is that rerun? There haven’t been Fox Trot dailies for years.

@ carlfink – It’s dated 5/27 (Monday) and probably appeared in the “classic” reruns at GoComics.

Yes, this is a recent rerun on GoComics. They cycle through the classic series. Over on Calvin, he just pushed their car into the ditch. Good times.
