FoxTrot's Chamber Music Hero
February 18, 2008
Once upon a time there was a daily newspaper comic strip called FoxTrot that included a lot of gaming and geek humor. Then the Dark Times came and the strip's creator scaled back his work to a single comic per week. Now published only on Sundays, there's a lot less space for gaming-related in-jokes, so when such humor does occur it can be a little dated. Consider this week's two panel jab at the music games genre with Chamber Music Hero. The whole [Insert Uncool Instrument Here] Hero gag is overplayed and stale by this point, but it's the reactions of characters Jason Fox and Marcus Jones that sell the joke.
