I'm not normally the jealous type... But they're certainly pushing me to the limit! Isn't Yorky a lovely little chap? Yes and Jock is such an adorable character.
Now Fred, you must learn to share with your friends.
Also a reference to a series of Readers Digest articles by Arthur Milward (a Brit), whose son Adrian was treated (unsuccessfully) for Leukemia–specifically one article “Concert For Elisabeth”. In that article Milward mentions that during his oft visits to the paediatric cancer ward, he had conversations “not only with Adrian; companions in distress, the children shared even their parents”.

Thanks alot! You stole that ones from my mind. :-/ hee hee hee…
Well, at least let Fred jump on the sofa between his masters and enjoy with Yorkie and Jock.
A little bit of trivia: the “real” Fred Bassett (i.e. one human who went by the name) was a 1920’s crook and one-time partner of Willie Sutton (who revolutionized the bank-robbing industry with his ingenious approach using disguise and illusion). Not that that has anything to do with today’s strip, I just thought you all might like to know (knowing your deep and unquenchable thirst for obscure bits of trivia)
