To my surprise, the title cartoon "Foney Fables," second among the seven cartoons here, features several fables. It was directed by Fritz Freleng in 1942. In GA, the cicada answers the ant's critique of being lazy by pulling out a series of war bonds. He will not starve! BW interrupts the series of reinterpreted stories several times. The last time has us encountering not the obnoxious laughing boy but a laughing wolf picking his teeth. The wolf in sheep's clothing meets a second wolf in sheep's clothing already working this herd. The goose who laid golden eggs has converted to aluminum eggs, to help the war effort. By the way, Mother Hubbard's dog turns her in to the authorities. It turns out that she has been hoarding food! Good color.
