    There you are from the get go playing sports. Not soccer but still. For however long this game lasts, you’re doing something. Do you play both sides?

    I don’t like so much that Mr. Dear always is shown a bit as to be on the grumpy and dumber side. But as we now know that these are the early strips, drawn by Mr. Alex Graham himself, I would say they are meant as making a bit fun of himself with a big twinkle in his eyes.

    Mr Dear is “out” and outvoted.

    This must be cricket. I decided once to read the entire Wikipedia article of the rules for cricket—I was dumbfounded at the end when I discovered myself bewilderingly none the wiser . .

    I hope that is a plastic wiffle ball that will float if ti goes in the ocean and Fred has to swim to fetch it.

    It looked like it was going to be a solid 6 until Fred managed a brilliant catch.

    I’ve heard of sand volleyball and soccer, but sand cricket? I’d think the bowler would have quite a lot of difficulty getting the ball to the wicket.

    Does anyone know if these are the original strips from Day One, 60 years ago? loridobson found Mr. Dear a bit bland and bored in his later years. I tend to agree. I have loved the strip, but this puts a bit of pizzazz back in! Fred himself hasn’t much changed.

    Who is the artist that’s drawn Fred Basset for the past 2 days? It definitely not the original artist.
