Abstract
Here is a small (6¾ x 6¾) bande dessinée. The title-page cleverly inserts a child between the fox and the crow, who has a redolent cheese clutched under his arm. One might wonder about the eye-glasses on this crow. The story opens with the boy playing a computer game in which he, as a mouse, hammers an elephant. Mom calls him to put on clothes and go to a theater. There she gives him a kiss. His reaction is that he, as the mouse in the computer game, would like to hammer his mother. The theater's show is a marionette performance of FC. Monsieur Renard arrives in a truck marked Renard Beau Parleur. The crow at first can hardly see the fox. He has perhaps more than one physical deficiency. Might this shortcoming contribute to his misassessment of his own beauty? He puts on his glasses and sees the fox clearly. The crow has to look up ramage to see that it means chant des oiseaux dans les arbres. He returns, combs his hair, and sings. His song, when he sings, is bibapeloula. The fox throws the cheese into his truck, already crowded with other cheeses. At the end of the performance, the boy kisses his mother and dreams of hammering the fox. Good work!
