    This is sweeter than anything Fred is cooking. Too sweet. :')

    Hello west nile virus and that new thing

  • dwtdwt Registered User regular
    What's next week - Funeral for Fred as he dies from the Zika virus...?

    No offence Katie, but much as I love this comic series, I can't help but think this one is a little... irresponsible, given the current issue with a certain virus transferred by mosquitoes.

    @DWT, Zika is generally not fatal (nor even particularly serious... 80% show no symptoms), but can cause microcephaly (a devastating birth defect) in a fetus whose mother has the virus. While our knowledge continues to evolve, you can see http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/health/what-is-zika-virus.html for a recently updated FAQ.

    In June, an elderly person who did have the Zika virus died, but it is entirely unclear whether the virus actually contributed to or caused death, despite some sensationalized reporting. "Zika virus death" = misleading (kutv.com). "Utah resident with Zika dies" = more factual (fox13now.com). Most reported "Zika-related death" which at least hedges a little.

    But I'm with the kid who would squish the mosquito ;-)

    It's ok Fred is going to kill the mosquito by giving it diabetes.

    @DWT that's quite enough of that, sir.

    Fred, you are perfect, and your father is a jackass.

    How Buddhist!

  • briguybriguy Registered User regular
    ITT it's worse to feed a mosquito than abandon kids. :P

  • John LittleJohn Little Registered User regular
    Heh. He sticks to his virtue to a fault, like all good characters.

  • Mr FishMr Fish Registered User regular
    awwwwww! I love Fred so much! He's one of my favorite characters in this whole strip.

    The next episode the camp resorts to cannibalism will be the last episode of Fred.

  • dwtdwt Registered User regular
    @DAVIDHBROWN - fair point. However - Zika aside - mosquitoes kill around 1mm people a year (source: WHO) - so I'd be killing that damn thing the moment it got near me!

  • SargeSarge Registered User regular
    Three notes:
    1) I think that Fred's bowl is empty, he was just pretending to stir food.
    2) "Everyone deserves a good meal" means that Fred has some sort of plan to use a live mosquito to acquire food.
    3) I cannot imagine a plan for acquiring food that involves a mosquito, can you?

  • TimAusTimAus Registered User regular
    How many deaths per year are caused by humans? Does that mean we should kill every human we meet? Fred isn't going to kill an innocent mosquito over the crimes of other mosquitos.

  • te-kunte-kun Registered User regular
    What about the mountain lion?

  • FireballDragonFireballDragon Registered User regular
    Punchlines that are also heartwarming seem to be the specialty of this comic. I love it. XD

    Next story arc: Malaria.

    @Sarge
    Maybe frog's legs?

  • RblDiverRblDiver Registered User regular
    So....perhaps Fred's slightly yellow tint is really malaria?

  • Desperado17Desperado17 Registered User new member
    "Fred, why did you kill all the other campers?"
    "They were not hungry but the wolves were."

  • CaffinatedCaffinated Registered User regular
    @RBLDIVER

    That would actually be Jaundice. Or more likely just a bad monitor color profile.

  • te-kunte-kun Registered User regular
    Maybe he just don't want Tanner's buttfingers touching him...

  • JachraJachra Registered User regular
    Suddenly malaria.

  • Laika ClementineLaika Clementine Registered User regular
    Fred, I know you love feeding people, but bug bites are a BITCH!

  • Pastels_ParadoxPastels_Paradox Registered User regular
    That's all cute, but Tanner's teeth make me fall out of my chair clutching my heart every time I see that adorable gap. It's an overstatement, but you get the idea.
