Abstract
Here is another oversized hardbound book of some 61 pages presenting caricatures with texts based on La Fontaine's fables. The first fable is FK, featuring four monarchs who keep getting smaller, starting with De Gaulle and ending with Sarkozy. The second fable speaks of the fox under a spell. It speaks of Renard/Sarkozy as having only one fault, and that a large one: he loves nymphets, dryads, witches, Sibylles, Cecilia or Carla, Carla or Cecilia. In the next, four pictures turn Xavier Bertrand into a pear. Clever! La Garde makes a great heron. In a great take-off on The Bull and the Fly, a bull whaps a fly with his tail and says Sorry. It was her or me! Many of these beasts come together in a great final group picture for Ces animaux malades qui nous gouvernent. Again, in case we were wondering, the last page -- across from a T of C -- gives us images of Rampal and Morchoisne as, respectively, an ape and a squirrel. Lively stuff!
