Fred Basset by Alex Graham for August 06, 2023

you did just have a birthday Fred!

At least Fred can still run.

I know the feeling, Fred.

It seems Fred had more freedom in the later years of this strip then now.

You’re not built that way, Fred. My Barney’s last fence was made from those little garden picket fences. He was so cute behind them. We made a little gate for taking him out.

Fred you’re built low to the ground. Not good for jumping a gate.

Sorry Fred your legs are too short.

It all hinged on how fit you are……

No matter Fred. There’s nothing better over the fence anyway.

Gravity is a harsh mistress.

Fred Next Time Say “Up… Up …And Away” ;-)

It might be a question of aerodynamics, Fred. Have you considered having a rear stabilizer installed?

Fred is more suited to dig and tunnel under the fence.

Makes 2 of us Fred

Fred hope you did not hurt yourself.Also with your little legs you would not make it

Fred, you’re getting old.

No, you just have really short legs!

This is Fred in his younger days. Reruns.

Thank you for providing the reason why we all need to maintain our daily physical exercise routines in order to stay proper evenly! Amen!!

None of us are Fred, none of us are.

Meanwhile, the garden is available. Anything tasty, Fred? My buds enjoyed the tomatoes and the sweet corn, ready to eat from the stalk.

Poor ’ol Fred…

Uh, oh. It looks like Fred left quite a few marks on the gate.
