Fred

Posy Simmonds’ Fred is a single-issue comic published by Cappelen in 1987, a standalone story that showcases her signature blend of wry observation and delicate, expressive linework. Following the quietly chaotic life of its title character, the book captures a moment of everyday absurdity with the warmth and intelligence that define Simmonds’ work. Though brief, Fred stands as a charming, self-contained example of her gift for turning ordinary lives into quietly memorable comics.
