Is anyone familiar with FoxTrot?

If your not familiar with the comic Foxtrot you should know that it's a really, really , good comic...basically it's about a family of five, a father a mother and three kids (son, daughter, son), somewhere in America. The youngest son is named Jason and is the biggest geek/nerd/obsessive ever. The only reason I mention this is because there is a strip from before the Lord of the Rings moives came out which fits this thread perfectly (sorry I've no image...but I'm copying this from my Foxtrot book).

Jason is sitting at a computer, leaning in really close to it, when his sister Paige comes in:
Paige: What are you doing?
Jason: Examining the "Lord of the Rings" movie trailer frame by frame and pixxel by pixel.
Paige: What for?
Jason: To be sure they're staying true to the books. I don't want Hollywood messing up this project by changing things or cutting corners. Already I fear they didn't use real Undead Ringwraiths to shoot this one scene.
Paige: (turning to leave) I'm going to be ill.
Jason: My reaction exactly.


Do any of you know someone that obsessive or nit-picky? ( )

Anyway, if you're not familiar with Foxtrot there are some great, absolutely wonderful, Lord of the Rings Jokes in there (as well as jokes on many other things too) and I highly suggest them.
