Fred Basset by Alex Graham for September 13, 2023

you are always our best in show Fred…chin up!

You know what they say, bad rehearsal great performance, and you’ve had some great performances. You’ve won ribbons in your time.

I really really hope the Dears start being nicer to him SOON.

Tail up seems rude.

Kinda hard on the dog. Are all breeders like this when in competition?

“It’ll be all right on the night”………..

It’s noticeable that in these older cartoons there is far more text and the Dears are far more argumentative with Fred and each other.

Mr Dear is acting like a Stage Mother.

I’d take Fred! Adopt him and shower him with love!

When we’ll see new strip?

Don’t yell at Fred.

Wow! the Dears are quite different than they were a few months ago…

Mr. Dear was such a meany early on

I be ready on game day! … Ken “Game Day” Sims

He’s a bit cranky lately.

When Fred starts winning all his ribbons maybe that’s when the Dears turn nicer.

And when the Dears stop dieting and start eating more and put on more weight they’ll be less cranky

Deportment? Fred doesn’t even look like a proper dog just at the moment.

Hang in there, Fred ….. it gets better …. :)

He’s a Bassett hound, that’s how they go!

OKAY, Mr. Grumpypants McNasty. How ‘bout I just lie down at the end of this leash and don’t do NUTHIN’. How about THAT?

He’s very nasty in these old ones. I like the newer ones a lot better. Mr. & Mrs. are very nice to Fred.

Fred is a game day performer.

Fred just be yourself and you will win
