Description

Fred basset, Jock and Yorky from Alex Graham's Fred Basset.

Fred Basset is a comic about a male basset hound. The cartoon was created by Scottish cartoonist Alex Graham and published first in the Daily Mail on 8 July 1963. It has since been syndicated around the world.  Alex Graham, the creator and cartoonist based Fred on his own dog Frieda and drew over 9000 comic strips. Alex Graham died on 3 December 1991.

Once the stockpiled 18 months' worth of Alex Graham cartoons had been published, they were continued in Graham's style with artwork by Michael Martin and Graham's daughter, Arran Graham, continuing the family link. They are new cartoons being published, not merely re-runs of earlier ones.

That is cute.  My mum and dad liked reading the comic strip when they had the Daily Mail.  My dad doesn't get it anymore, though (my mum passed away in 2011, sadly).  It made them laugh, see, and I think it was because they like(d) dogs.  My dad still likes dogs, as do I.  I like the yorkie and the other one that are just barely visable in the hole.  Fred looks cute, though.  Interesting description, too.
