Fred Basset by Alex Graham for September 14, 2010

You were warned.

Fred’s day just may Brighton up.

Especially if the candyfloss Hoves into sight again.

Funny how we Americans refer to that concoction as “cotton candy,” and “floss” is what we use to clean our teeth after eating it!

Fred on a suger buzz. Should be fun

candy floss! seems to have a nice colour… hope it doesn’t wind up on the bonnet of your car after it flies across the car park. Oh, by Jove! It’s landed on the windscreen of that lorry.

Only the ‘by Jove’ gave you away as not being a true speaker of 21st century English. I’m afraid nowadays it would be more likely to be ‘Oh bugger.’

It will find its way into Fred’s tum tum.!!!!!!!

Over here we call candy floss “spook asem”. The literal translation being “ghost’s breath”.

The cotton candy has the sugar too much and it was not supposed to get off from the paper stick and fly away in the air. Scoffs! sheeshhh! but I know the comic strip is so funny! Fred should not fetch it because he wants to eat all of the cotton candy. Hmmm!

He’ll fetch it, and you’ll never see it again.

Bassets move fast when they want to.
