Abstract
Here is a Canadian comic book. The covers are stronger than those on our comics. Two children ask grandmother to tell them fables after they discover that she knows La Fontaine's stories well. The paraphrases of La Fontaine are by Pierre Fontaine. GA misses La Fontaine's siding with the cicada. This version complicates the story by having the pretty cicada, who smokes and dances, explain that she could not work because she was taking her daughter to dance and music lessons. In OF, the frog first tries eating to get bigger. The last stroke -- pardon the pun -- comes with a bicycle pump. In Lex Deux Mulets the rich mule carrying money is attacked in the street by muggers. In DW, the wolf eats a dinner before he asks the dog about his collar. Part of the dog's role emphasized here is flattering the family. LS is fairly graphic about the splitting of the deer. The lion's lesson to his partners is This will teach you to bother important people like me. He had seemed to say earlier that he would play only a formal role in the partnership, for their benefit. Death and the Woodman involves a fairy who is ready to set the woodman up with Death. In TMCM, Radeville has a Cadillac and a mouse-maid. Cops enter his city apartment with guns raised looking for a criminal. FS should teach us not to mock people with long necks. In TH, the tortoise takes the shady route and so is not noticed by the cocky hare. On the back page, you can join the Club du Livre des Jeunes. Is this probably a Catholic operation, with a name like Fides?
