Fred Basset by Alex Graham for July 22, 2023

poor Fred, hang in there buddy!

A wet stick is cleaner than a sandy stick.

Yep. Bad choices all the way around. Now will you go home? Get into the car, crank up the heater to keep everyone warm, and go home.

I’m guessing they aren’t there in July!

All dogs are trained to fetch a stick. It’s in their blood.

All fun and games until someone gets hurt….

Love Fred’s expression in panel 2 – original artwork continues to grow on me.

NOW will you leave that cold beach before Fred gets sick? He needs to get in a warm place and so do you.

Well Fred at least you got some extra care/love out of this :-)

Mr Dear has unwittingly taught Fred that it doesn’t always pay to be obedient.

I can’t imagine what came over you either, Fred. You already knew how cold the water was from yesterday.

Impetuous. Oh, yes! Dogs just don’t think it through (as their parents don’t). Poor silly Fred!

Poor Fred!!

You’ve been pushed past your limit Fred

I do not like this woman. You never saw the other version without a smile.

Poor little Fred – I can’t blame him for his impulse!!

I wish they would put the original copyright date on these.

Fred …… I bet you learned for next time …… won’t go in the water to fetch …… :)

Poor Fred hope he does not get a. Cold

Man’s best friend, Fred, just knows what pleases his man…

Get warm little dog!

¡Ay, pobrecito de Fred!
