George Ade's "Fables in Slang" · Carlson Fable Collection

Title: George Ade's "Fables in Slang"
Description: 1928 23 "Fables in Slang" comic strips by George Ade. Many signed "Art Helfant." Unknown source.

I have enjoyed books of George Ade's fables. Those were text narratives. These cartoons are fun. They involve gentle social critique. Online commentators note that they present vernacular rather than slang. Ade was an accomplished playwright. Apparently these cartoon strip fables were syndicated nationally. I include them as a strong example of a popular use of the word "fable." Besides, they have their own charm!
