Oh no, Fred breaks bad!!

Come back, you thief!!!!!

Fred! So YOU started the bone thieving! You know all those bones Jock steals from you in future strips? You only have yourself to blame. You knew that bone wasn’t just lying around. You stole it while Jock was digging his hidey hole. So Jock just returned the favor of thieving your bones many times over. You know what they say about karma.

Fred? You are bad to the bone.

My Dear Fred both Jock and You are dogs ! … Not People ;-)

Bit of a klepto, aren’t we, Fred!

Bad doggie.

Fred! Not nice!!

Fred, so sneaky!

That was a mean trick, Fred.

Fred was so mesmerized by that lovely bone that he became oblivious to everything else around him — including Jock!

Oh come on Fred, you know better than that, Jock was right there digging.

You’ll be lucky if he doesn’t sniff out his bone ……. and take it back along with interest ……. :)

Fred, you know that bone doesn’t belong to you! Be a good boy and take it back.

Fred, I thought Jock was your friend. If this is how you treat a friend, it’s a wonder you have any left!
