I have to agree with Fred on this one.

♪ ♪ "I get the news I need on the weather report

Oh, I can gather all the news I need on the weather report

Hey, I’ve got nothing to do today but smile

De-doh-n-doh-de-dohAnd here I am

your daily Sisyphean task Fred

No Fred, it’s de-press-ing

Disheartening? I don’t believe Fred thought that way the Dears used the daily news for his paper training.

Sorry Fred but the Paper must come apart in order to be read ;-)

Fred, at least you keep it intact for Mr. Dear!

Humans! Can’t live with them, can’t live without them

What’s a newspaper? Oh, this strip is from the 1970s.

That is the nature of the “beast”.

Fred you are a good paper dog

FRED, FIND THE PAGE YOU ARE ON.

Good news Fred, these days the newspaper is so small there isn’t much to fall apart.
