Aesop Cop is a collaboration between
Franklin Crawford, who scans police logs around the world and writes
an Aesop-inspired morality poem about notable crimes, and Rigel
Stuhmiller, who illustrates the poems.
Aesop Cop takes these oddball
transgressions into a mythical world, with its absurd verse and
elaborate illustration. Jealous men wearing dead weasels deliver
frontier justice to their bewildered foes, fathers and sons seek
revenge upon assailants in community ERs and Russian hairdressers
turn armed robbers into sex slaves.
