Fred Basset 1993: No.45

From making sure he gets the most comfortable seat in the house to stealing sausages with his friends Jock and Yorkie, Fred Basset is a dog like no other. Another wonderfully entertaining collection of cartoons from the Daily Mail's classic Fred Basset strip features one of the most endearing and enduring of Britain's cartoon heroes. Fred Basset is without doubt the acknowledged authority on chasing cats, eating whatever food his owners leave unattended, and people watching. With his sidekicks Jock and Yorkie, Fred Basset's brilliantly dry wisecracks grace publications worldwide.

Don't buy Fred a squeaky toy and moan about the noise! She takes up yoga, He does a charity bike ride and yet can't control a supermarket trolley. He has some sporting success at last but still struggles with technology. Fred is baffled by the concept of pass the parcel at a kid's birthday party.

I know, I know, I know, I'm so biassed about this: I used to have a Basset and even now I have a petit basset.
But this is just spot on life with a basset. So warm, so nice.
Sadly, the print quality is quite bad in some points. Looks like bad scans.
But Fred is about the only news paper strip I still read.
