Fred Basset by Alex Graham for November 28, 2024

OOPS!!!!

Was Fred Basset named as a tribute to Fred Simpson?

Either Fred has a history with Mr. Dear’s guest or he’s simply being jealous.

What may be the intention in these angle lines in the first panel?

Be thankful they didn’t name you Fido.

At least Fred came when called … even if it was a wrong number.

I don’t suppose “Bart Simpson” would have caused any misconceptions.

At our former church yelling “Hey, Jerry!” was like walking into a Scottish pub and yelling “Hey, Mac!” (Then there was my Scout troop, of which about half was named Mike. I can well believe the World Almanac when it lists Michael as the most common boys’ name in 1960.)

I wish our Fred didn’t always seem mad about—something…

There is only one Smeagol, don’t call me Gollum we hates itses

Did you get disturbed …… Fred … don’t you just hate that …… :)
