Fred Basset by Alex Graham for December 06, 2023

and besides Fred, witches love dogs!

I would be afraid to run in the dark, because I might run into a tree or trip.

You are correct. There’s no such thing as witches, but there’s no shame in zooming it on home. Treats and a nap makes everything better.

Wow, Fred, you’ve got zoomie lines! Whatever they’re called.

How did you get lost?

I…….noticed that as he is traversing the wood, his speed is increasing as if he doesn’t REALLY want to find out what MIGHT be in the wood ! ! ! ! !

Which witch is which?

There was another Witches’ Wood strip. Both Fred and Mr Dear were afraid in that one.

Fred, why did you go into these woods in the first place?

Who knew Fred could run so fast!

Paws don’t fail me now ;-)

What a fraidy cat, my dogs go out at night even when the Coyotes are howling.

I don’t understand how our Fred got out there in the first place!

A kids’ mystery book from the ‘60s had a moment when one of the main characters (early teens as amateur detectives) declared, "I don’t believe in ghosts," and the other replied, “I don’t either, but I’m scared of ’em.”

Run, Fred!

“…branches silhouetted against the sky.” Nice.

I like the artwork. Very effective for the story.

Fred …… There isn’t anything there that will hurt you ………. Oh, what is that shadow that’s following you ….. :)

As he achieves doggy warp speed.

Run Fred run

Run Fred run
