Fred Basset by Alex Graham for July 04, 2022

you’ve got friends in high places Fred!

A lofty friend who knows talent when he sees it. Has he given you the golden buzzer yet? He should. You have the looks, the nose, a dynamite game of football, and you know how to sneak most any plate off the table you want. You are chock full of talent.

I like this cartoon strip (tee hee)!!

Fred good to have a judge as a friend

For the benefit of us former colonists, who is Judge Ian Marshall?

Well, there’s an Ian Marshall who’s a judge of pigeon competitions in Australia! Probably not the right one, but it would be so apropos! And yes, there was an Ian Marshall on Britain’s got talent, but he wasn’t a judge..So, who IS he?

Someone is preparing for the next pet show.

Here come da judge! (An obscure reference that only people of a certain age, mostly Americans, will understand.) And Happy Fourth of July!

Was that Geraldine from Laugh In ?

That is a British judge not a American judge. Fred Basset is a British cartoon. Off duty judge, I guess so.
