Fred Basset by Alex Graham for March 02, 2023

Fred’s favorite kind of downward dog, downward hotdog!

If you are vegetarian, you can have a bun and relish.

Buy another.

Yay, Fred!!

Are you slowing down Fred. You let it hit the ground.

Fred you lucky dog ! You got a Hot Dog !

Methinks the artist has been reading the comments….

When I was still in school in the 80th, there was a new Hotdog seller at the coach station. They had some buns which tasted like an old sponge. They shoved these buns on a pointed rod to make a hole, then squirted a tiny amount of ketchup in there, followed by a thin lukewarm awful tasting sausage with gristle bits in it. I loved the ketchup. An everyone wanted to buy those “hotdogs” because they were new and there was an american flag printed on the sign on the window. Never had a hotdog since.

Hot Diggity Dog Diggity. Oh look Fred! Dinner. You should have bought Fred one anyway!

@ finnygirl and all you German speakers: “raus flutschen” is what the sausage does in the 2. panel. :-) couldn’t find a translation for “flutschen”, but I love this word. It’s used in comics as “flutsch”, you know, what’s written in the picture, not in the speach bubbles. I think it compares somehow to ‘fast gliding’.

Umm, how is that possible? It looks like he blew in the end and shot the hotdog out the other end.

I have never, in my 66 years on this planet, seen a hotdog escape its bun like that.

An flying treat! How cool is this! ☺️

Hate when that happens!

My dog loves oopsies.

That’s just so unbearably sad. The instant of profound grief that grips the heart as your wienie plummets Earthward, and that little voice in your head starts counting… 1 potato 2 potato three.

I almost bought some hot dogs last weekend, but I ran out of money.

Fred ….. your lucky day …. enjoy … :)

I didn’t know they had hot dogs in Britain!

It’s a ‘dog eat dog’ world.

I always need a plate under my overstuffed, open-face, but folded-over sandwiches that I have every morning.

You are right. Fred.Mr Dear gets the roll and you get hotdog or sausage that seem fair

Aldous Huxley’s The Jungle put me off processed meat for a year.

A new way for Fred to score sausages! But Mr. Dear IS left with the fried onions and peppers! Hmm, maybe being a vegetarian might not be such a bad idea!

So he’s the loser and you’re the wiener, is that it?
