Flattop Aesop Garbage Pail Kids card, 2018
Scope and Contents
The Carlson Fable Collection is a gathering of primary fable materials at Reinert Alumni Memorial Library at Creighton University. It grew out of the personal collection of fable materials gathered by Rev. Gregory Carlson, S.J. and was given to the Creighton Libraries in 1996. There are more than 10,000 books and approximately 8,000 artifacts in the collection.
From plates to stamps, from cards to whiskey decanters, from toys to posters, you'll find just about anything you can imagine here. Please explore all that is to offer here in my fables Catalogue of Objects.
This is the largest online catalog of fable related objects on the internet. Many are from Aesop's Fables but you will find La Fontaine, Velazquez and Krylov also represented in this collection.

Abstract
Apparently this card comes from a series titled “We Hate the ‘80s.” Others will understand better than I if this character has anything to do with the character we know as Aesop. From what I know of “Garbage Pail Kids,” the scene depicted here fits! Even though our collection now boasts of 22 different kinds of cards, I could not find a category into which this card fit!
