Funny Fables by Ed Kuekes

1935-37  “Funny Fables,” 17newspaper cartoons by Ed Kuekes.  $1.50 from Louis Warner, Bithlo, FL, through Ebay, Oct., ’02.

Now here is a bargain!  I had known of Kuekes’ work through cheap black-and-white reprints.  This set is so much better!  As I noted then, Kuekes is absolutely faithful to the traditional fables.  Each strip has a last frame with a moral; the action of the rabbit and mouse there may or may not relate directly to the fable and its moral.
