Fred Basset by Alex Graham for January 08, 2024

those are the breaks Fred!

Oh no! How did he manage? Hope Mr. Dear didn’t cut his fingers!!!

Someone needs to buy an entire dining set by the look of it…….

No Good Deed goes unpunished ….

“Little” accident? Did he knock over the entire China cabinet?

Oh no! Mrs. Dear is going to kill him.

Hope it wasn’t the “good” china!

Maybe Mrs Dear wanted a new set of dishes anyway

Just clumsiness, Fred! His heart was in the right place!

What did he manage to smash?

I often consider the details of a cartoon. Is the gag the best it can be? Does it even work at all? It’s just a habit as a writer and visual designer. In this case, a whisk broom and a dustpan would seem better. For some reason…maybe because of the spillage, this makes me think he is still mad about the fishing excursion. He needs to relax on the sofa, with Fred next to him!

Seems like dude is having a rough week.

Maybe he was trying to copy the highly skilled restaurant workers who can carry four sets of used dishes plus glasses and cutlery back to the dishwashing station.

At least he tryed he should get points for trying right Fred
