Fred Basset by Alex Graham for December 07, 2023

We know you you didn’t mean it, and you have the right idea even if you aren’t really fleeing the scene of the crime but chasing the cat. Make yourself scarce. That way you have plausible deniability. “Birdbath? What about the birdbath?”

it almost became a Basset Bath Fred!

Musta been flimsy to collapse so easily.

Just say the cat tried to climb it to get a bird…….

Poor birds.

I notice that Fred isn’t ‘hangin’ around’ for the aftermath ! ! !

Run away…run away…

While waiting for a light to change before crossing a street, I have been surprised by wobbly bollards, that I have leaned upon.

Maybe it was blown over by the wind you are generating by running so swiftly

I always hated the way birdbaths come apart so easily!

Looks like he is going faster in the last panel than in the first one. Understandable.

Fred blame the cat you were chasing

Fred ……. blame the “CAT” …… :)
