Fred Basset by Alex Graham for November 30, 2023

Yes. It is good. Those hats are just a big No. Now as long as he doesn’t decide to go to the jumble sale, you’re safe.

Does he know you’re getting rid of the hat?

But some items (The Hat) hold memories that we do not want to let go of ;-)

when I was working plain clothes, and going out to make an arrest, I had an old, battered fedora my dad had given me before he passed that I wore as a sort of good luck charm. One day a CI in the area I worked walked up to me and politely asked," Who ya after today, agent?"

Jumble = Junk

Sea Scout’s. Kind of like the Boy Scout’s only since England is surrounded by water it makes sense.

He will probably buy it back.

Notice she’s not donating any of her stuff, just poor Mr Dears beloved hat.

Uh oh! Wait until Mr. Dear discovers it missing!

So this weekend, he’s off to the Sea Scouts’ sale to look for a certain Tyrolean hat.

A hat makes the man, he just lost his manhood…

Is this an early depiction of the Tucker Twins, who were often seen in the later Fred Basset strips?

A wife should NEVER give away any of her husband’s material possessions without his consent.
