Fred Basset by Alex Graham for March 22, 2023

Is it time for Jack to go to work? Why wake him up?

Good choice. Yorky is very quick on his feet.

Maybe one loud WOOF Fred?

Let sleeping dogs lie.

Funny: whenever I come back to this strip, looking for new comments, I am astound that Jock is still sleeping :-)

Waking him too quickly will make him barking mad…..

Does he even understand what gentle is? Good thing he’s a fast runner.

What all the other commenters have said …

Be Gentle? how could little Jock be anything but. He’s a mini dog.

Coming from behind may not be, the best move…ARF!

Gentle, gentle nudge.

Remember fellows, “Let Sleeping Dogs Lie!”

Fred ….. are you being a chicken, not waking Jock yourself ……. of course Yorky is fast so he could get away …. if need be …… :)

Yorky doesn’t wanna be like Howard Stern and Shock Jock.

Look out Yorkie!

Kno how Jock feels

Everyone back off and let Fred howl at him!

The Mrs has an ankle length sleep shirt with an image of Grumpy from Snow White with a caption “Sometimes I wake up Grumpy. Sometimes I let him sleep in.”
