Fred Basset by Alex Graham for January 04, 2025

Amen to that, Fred. I have a feeling those words ring true from one generation to another and have done so for many generations on down to today.

What’s even funnier is that this particular comic was probably drawn back in the 70’s. So that same youngster then would be saying to kids today that “Kids never acted that way in my, they knew their place, blah, blah, blah” Yeah, right.

They just think it was different when they were younger, when it really wasn’t as much.

I love it when one of your kids starts talking about “kids these days” at the ripe old age of 30.

Now Fred if you want to, you can take your paw and bat him away. Sort of like Garfield does to Nermal or Odie.

Fred to have the energy of Youth Again ! Enjoy the moment ;-)

It’s just when you’re on the other side of things…

Revisionist history eh Fred?

♫ Why can’t they be like we were perfect in every way ♫

Admiring Fred’s patience.

You’re becoming an old fuddy duddy, Fred!

One of the marks of old age is rationalization . . hey, it’s the mark of youth too! Any age!

And the puppy is all, “Play with me, Uncle Fred!”

Fred is being a curmudgeon, but a tolerant one

True, Fred.

Hey you punk kid get off my la… I mean back!

Now I have Basset pups in my head. Lotsa fun in my head right now.

Fred ….. Just be happy that its “NOT” something like a St Bernard ….. :)

Adorable!

Oh, Fred…please, lighten up a little bit and roll around with the little guy. He’ll wear out soon enough.

No discipline? What have you done to tell him that this is unacceptable? Have you done anything to amuse him in a gentle way?

“And he says that ‘These kittens, they do not get trained,

As we did in the days when Victoria reigned.’”

- T.S. Eliot, “Gus the Theatre Cat”

I agree with you fred

Next he’ll be lecturing the pup on how he used to walk to school uphill, both ways, in five feet of snow…
