Moving one book forward in our push to cover all the Shakespeare in FoxTrot, we find two brief connections.

Late in that play, Falstaff says, "The better pat of valor is discretion, in the which better part I have sav'd my life" (V.iv.119-21). In FoxTrot, Andi tries to remind Jason that "Discretion is the better part of valor" when he's angry about his video game performance:
