Fred Basset by Alex Graham for July 26, 2024

That will leave him well and truly plucked…….

If he keeps playing while you sit on it, it will sound weird, but not worse.

Oh dear! Yes, as quickly as possible, pancake it.

Just remember, you can’t tie down a banjo man.

Or sing [bay-howl] along with him.

Mrs. Dear will be so happy when Fred does manage to do that

why? it seems he knows what he is doing.

Well while you’re waiting for an opportunity to do that, Fred, you could go out and see what Jock’s up to.

Seems like a good time to nip out to the kitchen for some conveniently placed sausages.

I think Mr. Dear also plays the piano :-)

The ukulele is much more soothing and pleasant sounding! Of course, that also depends on the player!

Good idea Fred

He tries so many instruments! I wish he could actually learn just one…

No ….. Fred …… don’t sit on it …… we want to hear some good old banjo picking …….. :)

He is happy playing it Fred, a happy dad is more likely to give you treats!

Banjo, a generally American instrument, known best for Country, Country Western, Folk and Bluegrass, so interesting that this Brit has one. Perhaps he loves Yank music.

Go boy Fred

Why do wives (I’ve never seen husbands do it in comics) think they have the right to dispose of the mans stuff, against his wishes??

Nasty dog!
