Fred Basset by Alex Graham for March 16, 2025

Did you bring you rubber duck Fred?

Mr. Dear’s face in second panel. : (

Mr. Dear is taking evil delight in this whole bathing you thing. You should’ve shaken all over him, and, no generally dogs don’t get to kick back and soak and enjoy a nice hot bath. Never known one who wanted to. They were always scrambling to get out. Sorry, Fred.

Mr. Dear sometimes scares me. If I were Fred, I’d steer clear.

Fred now would be a good time for a sausage :-)

But Fred, you are getting nice and clean, and smelling good, no doubt!

And he can’t wait to go outside and wallow in some dirt to feel normal again.

You could have ran like most dogs, Fred.

None of our mutts like hot water, although they will lay in front of the fireplace until smoke starts rising from their fur.

Why does Mr. Dear always look so sadistic?

Splish-splash, I was taking a bathLong about a Saturday night, yeahRub dub, just relaxin’ in the tubThinkin’ everything was alright

You should have enjoyed the experience, Fred.

Obviously a low budget spa

Just think how much Fifi will be impressed.

At least Fred got his bath without too much bother. Time for a nap…and maybe a snack when he wakes up!

Fredying in hot bath sounds great

Nice clean dog smell now & it isn’t even your birthday Fred!
