Fred Basset by Alex Graham for June 26, 2023

You always help uslook up Fred!

That it is. A happy, colorful sight, but all we have to do to feel happy is look at you. You never fail us.

The nation’s second biggest source of hot air, after parliament.

Fred, which one is it? Not the Bristol Balloon Fiesta, as this will take place in August. Enjoy your time, Fred! And please don’t chase a balloon ;-)

Albuquerque is Oct. 7-15. Maybe Fred and his family time-warped.

Would you like to fly, in my beautiful balloon?

Fred someone out there has a sausage for you ! Work the crowd :-)

Not me, sorry.

July in Battle Creek, MI had a great one when we lived there 21 years ago.

Pretty.

Fred should keep his head in the clouds and his feet on the ground.

Love all the colors!

Wonderful art!

Giving the colourist some work. Nice

It looks like a traffic jam in the sky is about to occur!!!

Why do I doubt that Fred’s ever been to Albuquerque?

I read an article that said that, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, hot air ballon thefts are on the rise.

Are these a thing in England? Seems like you’d risk landing in the ocean or Europe; not sure which is worse…
