Abstract
-
en_US
Despite the claims on the back cover of this large softbound book, there is no Aesop among these cartoon strips that appeared weekly in Punch from 1977 on. But there are lots of funny parodies. The classicist will find the stories of Callisto, Hercules, the Trojan Horse (complete with Ajax as a fighting can of cleanser!), and Cleopatra, while the scripture scholar will find the commandments, Jonah, and Samson. The book exemplifies the wide range of meanings associated with fable.
