Fred Basset by Alex Graham for January 04, 2024

flap your ears Fred, you’ve got this!

WOW, Fred! I expected you to plow into and through it.

I thought that Red Bull gave you wings! This bull was black (or perhaps gray).

Nothing like being motivated by the survival instinct.

Not even Red Bull.

FLY, FRED, FLY!!!

There was an Asterix book called “Asterix and the Normans” in which the Norman ancestors of the Normans who would invade Gaul after the Romans left took the phrase “Fear gives you wings” literally. They didn’t know the meaning of fear but wanted to learn it in the belief that it would enable them to fly.

Whew! Now that you are safe, Fred, I would like to know why this bull got so furious about you. The bulls I met were rather calm creatures.

Here’s a way of referring to male bovine feces indirectly: I learned not to go barefoot in the cow pasture.

Like the British farmer told the hiker, “You can walk across my field for free, but the bull charges.”

Well Fred you got over the hedge but what is on the other side ?

GO DOG, GO

Where did Fred find a bull within walking distance of his suburban house?

I guess he didn’t beware. Oh, right, he’s a dog. Can’t read signs…(shoulda been able to smell it, though!). Great jump!

Wait….that hedge can stop a charging bull?

Way to go, Fred!

Smart boy!

Why would there be a bull in a suburban British neighborhood?

¡Caramba! Also, ¡Olé!

When Fred is drawn running fast, he looks more like a beagle. This is the fastest I have ever seen him to speak. (Does “fast” and “basset” even go together…I mean, except for dinner time. )

This is some strip that went far high enough!!

Fantastic jump ….. Fred …… surprising what can be accomplished ……. with the “RIGHT” incentive …… :)

Fear,…and judicious use of the Ears.

Hedge aint stoppin no bull..

Where did that bull come from in the UK?
