Fred Basset by Alex Graham for July 22, 2024

Let me guess. They’ve had this conversation a few times before? We know how this ends. She’s getting a new outfit.

Fred. You little tease…..

Fred certainly knows how their minds work here.

Soooo, 195 for the new outfit on sale, 119 for the shoes, 59 for a tiny purse, 145 at the beautician (to be covered by the 99 hat. And that assumes Mr. Dear’s old suit still fits. Just send the happy couple a check for 1,000, you’ll be ahead.

Fred, the mind reader, or has just been there many times before!

Fred thinks while you are spending money how about a new chew toy for Fred ;-)

Fred is a parrot. :}

Just don’t go. Problem solved. That’s my solution anyway. :)

You have to love thos broad grin on Fred’s happy face, don’t you?! :-D what a funny and heartwarming strip today❣️

Isn’t it nice that women can earn and spend their own money how they want. I couldn’t imagine having to get a man’s ok to buy a new outfit

Don’t look so angry, Mr. Dear. You bought a stereotype, now you gotta pay for it!

And Fred is magic! He has ’em hypnotized!

Fred got it right new outfit

Never to be worn twice. . . . . I have spoken.

They started out biting and snipping but they grew to be Dears ✍️(◔◡◔)

When my brother was getting married we had just had baby #3 and no money for a wedding outfit. I took a nice dress from my closet that was a few sizes too small because-baby. I removed the sleeves took our the side seams cut the sleeves to fit and sewed the fabric from the sleeves in. Presto! New dress everyone said was beautiful. I was going through the new mothers blues so I thought they were just being nice until 10 years later I looked at the pictures. I looked good!
