List of Fox Trot Characters - Roger Fox

Roger Fox is the father of Peter, Paige, and Jason and the husband of Andy. According to the strip, he is 45 years old and was born in Chicago, Illinois. Roger has also stated that he majored in English studies at the fictional Willot College. He works at Pembrook and Associates. Roger's occupation is an unspecified white-collar office job, although his coworkers and his boss, Pembrook, have appeared in the strip.

His hobbies include golf, camping, and chess, though he has almost no talent at any of them (or virtually anything else he attempts). He often tries to involve his family in his interests, usually by taking them on vacations. He is also portrayed as being highly out of step with modern technology, especially computers. Many strips also show that he is overweight, balding and in poor physical condition, to the point of his tires sinking just by him sitting inside his car, and despite his wife's attempts to get him to eat healthy foods and exercise, he rarely does so. Similar to Peter and Paige Fox, he was also a procrastinator, and during high school, he sometimes pulled all-nighters studying for a test by drinking coffee, splashing cold water on his face, and even playing really loud music if the previous two attempts didn't work (although Andy Fox implies while his son is trying similar methods that the last bit got him expelled from three fraternities). He also has some trouble with giving Christmas presents, as he once mixed up the family's Christmas gifts due to exhaustion and confusing Jason's request for cash and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for a Walk the Line CD and four solid metal gears, respectively. Despite being rather clueless at times, he can be clever in some matters. He fares well enough as a family man and clearly cares for his wife and children, once he quit his job when Jason busted his chin, he went back after he realized he made a mistake. He also seems unable to light and cook on a grill, usually resulting in a giant pillar of fire coming out of the grill, which once destroyed a sattelite, resulting in a phone call from NASA.
