Abstract

en_US This is a small hardbound book of twenty pages about 4¼ x 4¾. It is inscribed To Barry From a secret admirer. 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. I notice that there is a different -- updated? -- version of this booklet now for sale on the web with a date of 1974. It has a different cover. We will see if I get it.
