Roger Fox

Roger Fox is the well-meaning but hapless father in Bill Amend's newspaper comic strip FoxTrot, navigating suburban family life alongside his wife Andy and their three kids — teenage Peter and Paige, and youngest son Jason.

Bill Amend introduced Roger Fox to comics readers in 1990, and this Copper/Modern Age creation from Andrews McMeel became a fixture of one of the era's most beloved newspaper-strip collections. Appearing across a dozen years in volumes like Eight Yards, Down and Out and FoxTrot Assembled with Care, Roger shares his pages with a lively cast — Peter, Paige, Jason, Andy, and even a iguana named Quincy — making these books a warm ensemble affair. With six catalog appearances, he may not be the most prolific character in the database, but any fan of smart, character-driven American comic strips will find his company well worth seeking out.
