Fred Basset by Alex Graham for December 06, 2022

Wow Fred! What’s gotten into you leaving it his call? Unless you are pretty darn sure he won’t eat a floor sausage. I wouldn’t but there are some folks …. I’d say good luck for you.

All is fair for drops Fred but fair play letting him choose!

That sausage is yours, Fred. Take it!

It’s on the floor. He can’t eat it. His loss.

You’re a good boy Fred!

Panel 4 would have shown Fred gobbling the sausage with glee.

This family eats way too much sausage.

Go for it Fred ! Tis your sausage now !

I would rinse it off at the sink, but that is because no Fred at my house.

5 second rule is in effect, but I’d let Fred have it

In the words of Mittens from Bolt: “If it hits the floor, it’s the dogs.”

Best to devour it before Mrs. D can see you with it!!

Bella got a bit of that sort of bounty last night; the last bite of my turkey dog slipped out of the bun and onto the carpeted floor. Five second rule or not, there’s no redeeming it after carpet fuzz.

He is waiting for Mr. Dear to pick up the sausage to eat or give to Fred. No blame for Fred.

Bet Mr Dear will let Fred have the sausage

I’m sure kitchen floor sausage is not the dirtiest thing Fred has gotten into

I agree that sweet Fred should get the sausage!

“Aack! Give it to Fred, or wash it off for the family…?”
