Jason Fox (Born March 6) is the youngest child of the Fox family, and the strip's Main protagonist. A 10-year-old boy who wears glasses (though his pupils are unseen), he is shown to be very intelligent and is often relied on to help Roger with taxes, or Peter and Paige with homework. Unlike his siblings, Jason wants to do his homework and often receives incredibly high marks as a result (72 correct answers out of 20 questions is disappointing to him). Although he did once get a “B” on a test.
He sometimes is disappointed when he has no homework because he did all the homework for the year during the first week of school. He tends to aggravate the teachers with his overly complicated answers and is frequently in trouble for disrupting the class. Despite his intellect, he is shown to take most things too literally on occasion. (Once, when Roger asked him for "java", meaning a cup of coffee, Jason gave him a mug with a printout from the Java programming language. this may have just been a joke, though) He also once placed an order for a pizza with "17/51 cheese, 109/327 sausage, and 86,499,328/259,497,984 mushroom" (which resulted in Roger receiving all his change in pennies and telling Jason that him ever asking him to order their pizza again was an "unlikely event"), and unsuccessfully tries extreme ways to get Roger and Andy to raise his allowance, which almost always results in a sudden decrease in his pay. In one Sunday strip, Jason created tiny "Jason bots" with small guns to attack Paige. Jason called the game "Jasotron 2012" He also tried to make a Operating System called "Jasondows" but reluctantly failed.
Appearance[]
Jason is short, with long yellowish blond hair, round glasses, and peach skin.
In the original comics from the 1980's his appearance was a bit different. His face was longer, his hair was a bit different, his ears were drawn different, and his nose also was different.
Later as Bill Amend's drawing style changed Jason's design got updated to mostly the design we know today but with a slightly longer face.
Finally, his face became more straightened and he became less thin.
Personality[]
Jason loves many geeky things. In the late 80's and 90's, he loved dinosaurs, but he gradually became interested in Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Star Trek, and Dungeons and Dragons. Somewhere around 2005, he becomes interested in World of Warquest, a computer game parody of World of Warcraft. A running gag is that he wants to see Game of Thrones (though he's too young.) so Andy has to stop him. Once, Jason put on a Steve Jobs costume in order to find out what items he releasing at his presentation. There are also times where Jason will make contraptions that are pretty close to the actual weapon, such as his Spiderman Web shooter that he built which would only shoot webs at him and nothing else and claimed that it looked easy in the comics.
Like most stereotypical boys, Jason is a constant source of mischief. He is always coming up with jokes, pranks, and tricks which include water bombs, snowballs, dart guns, squirt guns and other contraptions, Paige being his favorite target. She is also the center of his insults, like when he came up with a Slug-Man superhero comic, which included "Paige-o-Tron" as the villain, or uploading games to his website which included Pimple Command, Paige Invaders, Ms. Yap Man and Paige Don't Know Jack, on which she is respectively portrayed as pimply, a space alien, a constant talker on the phone and being unable to answer the easiest of questions. Although Paige is his regular target, Peter is sometimes the target of his tricks (such as reprogramming the auto-dial buttons on Peter's cell phone, resulting in Peter accidentally confessing to Andy about sneaking out when he thought he was talking to Denise). He also enjoys making comic strips with Slug Man (see below), substitutes for other cartoonists' work, e.g. Family Circus, or with his siblings as the characters, such as when he had a week of comic strips in which Paige was portrayed as a deadly monster (which resulted in Paige doing the same for him the following week). He also has a strange passion for bugs and other disgusting things, collecting bacteria and also once made a "Tick farm".
Jason is very greedy. He can get blinded by riches, and he will go to any means for them, including scams. He thinks that his products should sell for large quantities of money (such as when he sold lemonade for hundreds of dollars.) If his family wants a favor from him, they usually have to pay him. Peter and Paige have been the main source of this money. If Jason attempts to extract payment from his parents, this often backfires, such as Roger agreeing to do so, then demanding back payment from Jason for all the food and necessities he has consumed since the day he was born, all paid by Roger's work.
Portrayed as a stereotypical nerd, he has an interest in science fiction, particularly Star Wars, Star Trek and role-playing games(primarily the fictional fantasy-themed MMORPG "World of Warquest", a portmanteau of World of Warcraft and EverQuest), as well as a high level of knowledge in mathematics and science. He also seems to have a high interest in comic books and dinosaurs. In a few strips, it is revealed that he likes Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, as well as the fictional "Linuxmon", (witch blends his interests in programming and video games) and brings them to school.
Jason is extremely smart for his age. He is an amazing programmer and a frequent user of the family's computer. He has repeatedly constructed his own computer programs (including a search engine, which he built before breakfast) and viruses, which he often sends to the other computers in the house and sometimes Eileen Jacobson's. He also has written at least two viruses that caused nationwide havoc, entitled the "Darth Jason" and "I-Don't-Love-You-Eileen-Jacobson". He included a copyright line in the latter, and in the former, he completely eliminated the Internet (and Jason's web company, "Jasonzonbayhoo") as a result.
Jason loves school and is quite good at it, the complete opposite of Peter and Paige, who hate school and often fail. Despite his high academic motivation and skill, his teachers do not like him finishing all the assignments before school is over and his constant mischief.
It is also shown that Jason is a terrific snow sculptor. When it snows he and his best friend Marcus build monsters out of the snow to scare Paige. Another example is a storyline in which Andy tells him to go outside instead of playing video games, so he and Marcus build the environments of their favorite video games to play in.
Jason loves playing video games. He plays video games regularly — either by himself, with Peter, with Roger, or with Marcus. In one series of strips, Paige plays one of his games and is more adept at it than Jason to his frustration, with common sense assisting her. In one instance, he is shown to try and fail many times to go pro at certain games. These games include: The "Legacy Of The Void" expansion, "Rocket League", "Dota 2", "League Of Legends", "Counter Strike", "World Of Tanks", and the last "Legacy Of The Void" expansion.
He frequently attempts to recreate the work of cartoonists while they are on hiatus, usually as an excuse to make fun of Paige. Occasionally, Jason will make exaggerated plans of his own, such as a large-scale animatronics Christmas display (which has everything but a sound system playing "Jingle Bell Rock" all day) or a skyscraper comic book shop in his backyard (which is squashed by the zoning commission).
Like Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes, Jason is shown to have a fear/hatred of girls (see below) but admits to slightly liking one of his only female friends, Eileen Jacobson. He sometimes falls prey to advertising ploys, as illustrated in a 1991 arc where he becomes obsessed for a short while with The Simpsons products.
Jason also occasionally, puts on his parents' clothing, and puts Quincy on his head, pretending to be characters such as John Quincy Adams, Don Iguan, Iguanoman, or, on one very memorable occasion, Quincy's mother mainly to annoy his family. He also uses the fact that he is quite a geek in general to annoy Roger and Paige by accidentally deleting their files and controlling the kitchenware when Andy was making them dinner.
In addition to his greed, Jason is selfish. During a story arc in 1989 when Jason and Peter found an envelope filled with money, Jason was practically filled with joy to understand that the person was dead and that they could keep the money. Peter was ready to celebrate in a similar way, but his conscience said that they should get to the bottom of it and ensure that it is legal to keep the money. They learn that the decedent had willed his entire estate to medical research, which included the cash found on his person. Peter accepts this in the hopes that this can finance a cure for cancer or like malady in the future, but Jason is left fuming.
Jason's Inventions[]
Jason is a genius, and as such, he has made some amazing inventions. An example is, in the Robo-Dog arc, Jason fox Makes little "companions" for Paige's Robo-Dog. The companions are fleas, and, unfortunately, we never get to see the fleas in action, although, in response to a question, Jason claims that the robot fleas use "Octopule-A" batteries.
Another example of one of Jason's many inventions is the invention of the Windows-knockoff "Jasondows", which would be much less beneficial to the user, and he thought would make him rich. Another invention of his is a snapchat-like app that would send files extremely slowly, simulating a dial-up modem.
Trivia[]
- During a storyline, Peter told him he was reading a book called "The Metamorphosis" where a man wakes up one day to find he transformed into a giant bug.
