- Abstract
- en_US I listed the original version of this booklet under 1960? since it included no date. The present version is clearly copyrighted 1974 on the inside front-cover. The cover design is new: orange letters against a green background with stars around. The letters of the title no longer suggest fat as they did then. Otherwise the books are, for all I can tell, identical. Let me include my comments from the original version. This is a small hardbound book of twenty pages about 4¼ x 4¾. It is inscribed To Mom from ? LAH. The title-page changes the sub-title to: If you have trouble sticking to your diet, maybe this story will give you inspiration. Fat Fanny starts as an egg on a blade of grass. The egg hatches and starts eating. Soon she is a big fat centipede-like blob. Others tease her, saying things like Your mother must have been a dirigible. Fanny decides on a crash diet and spins herself into a cocoon. When Fat Fanny hatches out of her cocoon, she is a gorgeous butterfly. The cartoon here may be the only X-rated cartoon of a butterfly that I have seen! I never thought of a butterfly's body as having breasts! Here comes the shock of this little book. When one turns the page, one reads Then a bird ate her. Moral: Better to eat like a bird than to be eaten by one.
