Fred Basset by Alex Graham for November 28, 2021

Maybe a little overconfident?

Fred, you just need alittle wider log, you are a little wider dog!

It happens to all of us at some point. We all take a misstep. Granted we don’t all fall into a creek, but I recall falling down a flight of stairs at church when my knee went out. Haul yourself out of the water and just roll with it.

Poor Fred. It’s hard not to look down.

Thankfully the leaves are still green, so the water isn’t too cold. We had the first snowflakes yesterday an got a little white sheet on the outside over night (in Schleswig-Holstein)

Fred hopefully the only part of you hurt was your pride . The Lads do look concerned for you Fred !

Today’s strip reminded me of a famous scene in “The Lion King” where Timon, Pumbaa and Simba make a similar crossing but no one falls.

Once the log starts to bounce and you look down, all is lost. Ah well – at least it’s only water.

Poor Fred. His swaying caboose did him in.

Happened to me last month, but I didn’t land on any thing soft.

Ah but saved by your sense of swim!!!

Or lack thereof!
