Looks like Caesar knows a few tricks himself including the one you thought you pulled on him. Get ready to run, guys.

Ohhhh, Fred.

Looks like Caesar is going to try to win his laurels……..

Fred is about to eat his words…sorry Fred!

He speaks too soon!

Oh, no! Poor Fred! Poor Jock!

I’ve just had the image of Muttley, from Wacky Races, appearing in my mind…

“Cry Havoc, and let slip the dogs of war” – William Shakespeare (Julius Caesar)

Caesar may be a friend of Brutus. They are certainly enemies of Fred and his friends. The friendship between Julius Caesar and Marcus Brutus had a famously tragic ending.

Someone noted yesterday that the characters in this strip got much nicer after Aaron Keith took over the writing. The Grosvenor Avenue Gang certainly didn’t get any nicer.

“Ruh roh,” – Scooby Doo

Oh Fred, you and Jock are in for a rude awakening. Run, run fast!

It does look like havoc may ensue.

Don’t look now, Fred, up you are about to have a ‘come-upping’ ! ! ! !

Pride goeth before the fall.

Is Caesar wringing his paws in anticipation?

Uh oh……………

Be prepared toRin or fight guys
