Dan Piraro

1993  “Bizarro.”  Dan Piraro.  Chronicle Features.  Newspaper feature.  Source unknown.

Since the advent of drug testing of athletes, humorous versions of the standard American fable of the race between tortoise and hare has frequently engaged that new element. 

1994  “Another Fable Ruined by French Cooking.”  Dan Piraro.  Newsprint paper.  Chronicle Features.  Source unknown.

The fun element in this fable is that it begins like other fables.  One expects that something surprising is going to happen between the two animals.  Then the surprise comes: a chef catches and cooks both.
