Fred Basset by Alex Graham
Posted by maggie

The basset hound Fred has his own Wikipedia entry, and his first appearance by cartoonist Alex Graham (1917-1991) appeared in The Daily Mail July 8, 1963. (Huzzah! A British strip for which the first publication date appears online!) Graham based the strip's character on his own pet. Don Markstein has an entry on the strip, too -- as does Lambiek. Here are a few from 1964.
