Fred Basset by Alex Graham for December 24, 2021

Evidently someone didn’t read the script. Merry Christmas, Fred!

Where’s that damn cat when you need it?

‘Twas the night before Christmas and rumor has it, that Santa has a special treat for Fred Basset!

Get that mouse out of here!

In our attic the marten came to visit. ’T was a bid luoder than a mouse.Merry Christmas to everybody!

Life’s rarely like the book.

Mouse ~ “Still gotta eat!”

Well, Fred, the mouse isn’t stirring, so just give it something to do just that!! Drinks mixer, hmm!?

Dude! Not even!

Be nice to the mouse, Fred.

What part of “not even a mouse” didn’t you understand?

“squeak squeak”…..“woof woof”

Our dogs woke me up around midnight. Yesterday is was 2:15 am. Can’t wait to find out their timing tonight.

Apparently Mr. Mouse didn’t get the memo

Cute mouse.. :^)

Rumpelstiltskin!

Ha, ha – I like this evening gag – Merry Christmas to you all!!

Oooh boy, Fred does NOT like mice or any creeping thing. Here he comes, Dears, to hide under the covers!

This is similar to the opening of the 1941 Oscar-nominated Tom and Jerry cartoon “The Night Before Christmas”. In that wonderful cartoon, the narrator begins “It was the night before Christmas and, all through the house, not a creature was stirring not even…” The narration ends as soon as Jerry comes into sight.

I think Fred’s about to make a new friend.

Knowing Fred’s good nature, I’m counting on him to be kind.
