Abstract
Here is a chance item that I picked up at a favorite bookstore by a favorite artist. It is a monthly satirical newspaper that in this issue features 43 fablettes de Jean Effel. Many border on fables, as when the tortoise says to her child Don't drag your feet (2) or when one fly on the ceiling says to the other Absurd hypothesis; if the earth were round, in the other hemisphere we would walk with our feet below us! Others are maybe just good fun, like the female rabbit saying to the male Not in front of the little one; she still believes that babies are produced from a hat (7). A typical fable-scene of the eagle carrying off the lamb (11) leads one larger sheep to say to another The best go to heaven…. La Fontaine comes in for one specific parody (14), as the ass kicks a book of Perrault and says (I think!) If only 'Skin of the Ass' had been recited to me….
