Abstract

en_US This is a fine bande dessinée or comic book featuring nine fables. The actual text of La Fontaine is given, generally two lines by two, at the top of panels of the comic book, in which lively action and more colloquial comment abound. The stag who has admired himself in a fountain gets away and saws off his antlers (VI 9)! The monkey does acrobatic tricks with the crown as though it were a hula hoop or other circus prop (VI 6). Particularly funny is The Coach and the Fly, especially when the fly gesticulates self-importantly and proclaims Je fais un travail formidable! (VII 8). In the end, one of the passengers sprays him with bug spray! The visual artist carries out the moral of The Hare and the Frogs by showing a hunter frightened by a mosquito. At the end of GA, the grasshopper dances so vigorously that one ant suggests that they give him some grain to quiet him down! The bat finally runs into a weasel that eats both birds and mice! The rooster in UP comments to himself Il me prend vraiment pour un idiot! Using this comic book, I must say, is one of the most effective ways I have experienced for learning La Fontaine's fables well! Perhaps the best illustration of the whole book is on the lower right of 42: the city rat has immersed himself head first in a glass of wine.
