Fred Basset by Alex Graham for July 17, 2024

Mrs. Dear’s allowed to take a good break every once in awhile. She does work hard and what Mr. Dear doesn’t know, he can’t complain about. Don’t know if he would, but why take the chance.

That’s a lot of coffee. Is she wired now?

your silence is why she covers for you Fred…

As long as dinner is ready and the house is clean I’m good with the 2 hour break but I’m deducting it off her paycheck.

Time is relative…….

That is why it’s called House Work ! Because it is work ;-)

She appears on edge.

if only this dog could talk… :j

A girl has got to have time for herself!

Does it really matter how much time she spent talking to Mary? If you’re not out working for monetary remuneration, you never quit working. It’s right there, from getting up to going to bed, always waiting to be done. So, as long as it’s done to Mrs. Dear’s satisfaction, that’s all that matters.

Why is Mr Dear giving her side eye? Is she not “allowed” a break? Why did Mrs Dear feel the need to even tell him about her break?

She can’t possibly have finished all that other stuff in the remaining hours of the day!

Don’t be a tattle-tail Fred!

Time is subjective.

Dogs cant tell time. If I’m away from the house 5 minuets or 5 hours, my dog greets me with the same enthusiasm. Fred wouldn’t know the difference.

Leave it to Fred to keep Mrs.Dears secret

Does anyone know how old these strips are?
