Fred Basset by Alex Graham for December 23, 2023

You looked more like a bird-dog than a basset Fred!

Been there. Felt that. It’s always such a relief weird dreams aren’t real. Mostly.

What’s up, Fred? Cat chased you up a tree?

The nightmare before Christmas……

As I have just mentioned on “Andy Capp”, I watched a reshowing of The Revenge of Frankenstein last night. Lionel Jeffries – who voiced Fred Basset in the 1970s animated TV show – had a small part as a grave robber.

Nightmares sometimes generate a TREEmendous effect on the sleeper…

Isn’t it funny (in a lovely way!) how the mantelpiece changes from day to day? I would say different rooms but all scenes seem to take place in the living room.

What did ‘Mrs. Dear’ put in your food bowl that made you have a dream like that, Fred ????

He’s out of his tree.

Ah, the comfort of home. Peace after a nightmare is the best medicine.

Happy Tail Time !

…safe and happy in your home, with your humans!

Warm and safe after all, Fred!

Now go back to sleep and have a pleasant dream

Indeed, Fred.

Fred’s a cat?

Is there a better scene than a dog, warm, safe and happy, with his people. SPOILER ALERT- Over on the Mutts comic, they just had a very nice arc about Guard Dog finally getting a real home. Very dramatic and touching. It’s on arcamax and a few other places. It’s a long arc that starts around thanksgiving I think.

Sleeping in front of a fireplace makes it easy to feel like a cat. Heck even I have been known to.. purr.

Must have been those leftovers that they brought back, for you from the cocktail party …….. gave you nightmares …… your nice and safe ……. by that nice fireplace …. Lucky you ……. :)

What you eat causes those nightmares…

Fred maybe you had a nasty nightmare a pitbull chased you up the tree.But you look safe and comfy in front of fire
