Fred Basset by Alex Graham for April 27, 2024

canine speed bump Fred?

Stop blaming Fred! You know he’s there somewhere, so just watch where you’re going.

Dear has to blame someone other than himself. He should know you lay in the same spot all the time like a garden slug. No offense, Fred. Bassets, as all dogs, are creatures of habit. Broken wine Dear’s fault.

Fred shows a better knowledge of wine than Mr. Dear :-D

You know, Mr. Dear. Always has to wine about thing…..

This one is on you Mr. Dear ! Not Fred ;-)

Panel 1 – poor Fred!! Then insult upon injury in Panel 3.

Let sleeping dogs lie.

This guy is always yelling at Fred. Whoever is writing Fred Basset now needs to start being nicer. The writer is also writing Fred as being too grouchy to Jock and Yorky, too. Lighten up, buddy.

You should try walking through a dark house with a black lab sprawled in the middle of the room!

You want some cheese with that whine???

You should know by now, Mr. Dear. That’s the nature of a dog!

$2 wasted

And Fred drinks wine??? Now Mr. Dear will have to report to the seniors community that he fell (no, wait, that’s here. Mr. Dear’s been rewound 60 years!).

Mr. Dear, you need to watch where you’re going.

My cat had the annoying habit of laying under the covers in the edge of my bed and then getting mad when I accidentally sat on him. Had to buy him a small throw blanket I kept on the opposite side for him to lay in to finally put an end to it.

I think Fred is far more discerning than his master. First the missing “twiddly bits” of music, and now a harsh critique of his wine.

I endure these “cranky” early strips by knowing that they all become wiser and more understanding over time. Besides, we can all be cranky at times.

Mr. Dear needs to pay attention to where he is walking & what’s on the floor . . . .

Well …… Mr Dear …….. “YOU” probably should have watched where you were walking …… especially having a bottle of wine on a serving tray …….. you should apologize to Fred ….. for tripping over him …… ;)

How about looking where you’re going, mate!!!

I don’t like these owners! The artists have changed and the owners are just not to my liking!

Mr Dear has gotten nasty to Fred and maybe Fred is doing the same to Jock and Yorkie
