Fred Basset by Alex Graham for April 26, 2024

don’t let jt spoil your good walk Fred!

Tough luck but you spent a lovely day with your good friend, and as you said the weather was lovely so it was still a good day for getting fresh air and sunshine.

Good weather! “O, TO be in England now that April’s there, …” (Robert Browning)

And you have your best friend at your side, Fred. That is much more Worth than any rabbit. You two enjoy being together❣️

Fred never catches a rabbit anyway. He would often say, “That’s the nearest I’ve ever come to catching a rabbit.”

Fred, don’t go rabbit hunting, they’re too cute to catch, plus they’re way faster than you realize.

Probably human encroachment and habitat destruction took care of all those pesky rabbits.

Same reasoning for why those of us who are poor golfers still go out and play.

Fred all I may say to you is keep looking ! Rabbits hide in strange places . Did not see any rabbits all winter and now a mother rabbit has a nest with young ones in our yard ;-)

Well, you guys had a lovely walk anyway!

Fred, you are indeed indomitable!

Good to look on the bright side Fred

As Fred’s pal, Snoopy, observed, “If it’s such a good day to go hunting, why spoil it for the rabbits?”

No rabbits? I guess Elmer Fudd finally got lucky.

Isn’t that a rabbit hiding in that bush in the lower left corner bottom of the third panel? : )

It’s like golf. You do it for the fresh air!

Just come to my back yard in Chicago Fred. I have three rabbits every year now. One year I didn’t have to mow the yard after August, as they ate so much of the grass!

Plus having the company of your very best buddy for the hike ! ! ! !

Found the silver lining ……. Didn’t you ……. Fred …… ;)

A great day either way, Fred!

Fred is such a good natured dog that I can’t imagine him hurting anything. But we all know what a dog will usually do to what he or she catches.

You’ll find them when you get to Caerbannog.

Maybe all the rabbits hid when they saw you and Yorky
