Fred Basset by Alex Graham for January 06, 2023

You are a good sport Fred, a really good sport!

We know you are a studly guy, but real men can wear flowers. Especially if it makes their moms, in this case Mrs. Dear, happy.

Aw, sorry, Fred.

I think you look really nice and lovely Fred! And the colour as well as daysies are some of my favorites! It looks cheerfull and stands out to all this dark, light and middle gray which you see everywhere these days.

Hate when owners dress their dogs up when they think they look cute.

Poor Fred.

Fred just " Think Spring " ;-)

Fred love the coat it reminds me of spring

Don’t worry, Fred, we won’t laugh—we understand ! ! !

Madness you say?

Our Fred’s a Basset HoundHe is very long and lowand usually quite roundOf Fred we are so proud…

Poor Fred.

All I can say is, someone’s missing a table cloth.

I’m sorry, Fred, but you look like a pillow!

Pooor Fred! It’s an ugly sweater, but it’s not for Christmas!

Think of yourself as the Magnum P.I. of the canine world and rock those aloha colors, Fred!

Gilding the lily isn’t it, Fred!

You’re really putting on the dog now, Fred.

A bit too girly don’t you think?

@All:

Except for Fred doesn’t seem to like his new coat very much-

Oh, come on! We really should have been overcome by now all this fussing about girlishly & boyishly stuff. Nowadays there are no real limits- everyone is free to wear what ever one likes.

Now, I had to say that :-) go and hop on to the next strip ;-D

Does anybody else remember a children’s book called No Roses for Harry? Because this is a dead ringer for Harry’s situation.
