And happy, happy birthday to you too, dear Marsha❣️
Wish I could give Fred a lovely bone with a red bow and Marsha a plate of nice oat cookies with a lit candle to celebrate.Have a lovely day everyone ☀️
Hey Fred, you’re almost my age. And you’re older than Garfield who just turned 45. Happy birthday and many happy returns! Thanks for being so cute and fun to read every day.
Happy 16th Birthday my dear Fred! No wonder you were down in the dumps the past several days. You have so many people and doggy & cat friends who love you too!
I’m missing something. Fred first appeared on 8 July 1963, by Alex Graham. His daughter Aaron Keith and Michael Martin took over in 1993 after Alex passed. I place Fred at 60 years. Is it possible that there has been several juvenile delinquent is running around impersonating the original Fred?

60 – it used to be very old, today it is comparable to 40.

Now we might know why Fred wan’t allowed to go outside: the Dears didn’t want him to see how they decked the garden for the festivities :-)

I thought that might have been Alex Graham to the left of The Dears but he has a mustache. Did Mr Graham have a mustache at one point?
