Wanda Gag
Gone Is Gone: or the Story of a Man Who Wanted to Do Housework
Hardcover
(Univ Of Minnesota Press Sept. 24, 2003)
, First Thus edition
Gone Is Gone addresses an age-old question for couples - who works harder?
In this delightful story we meet Fritzl, who lives on a farm with his wife Liesi and their baby. Fritzl works hard in the fields every day. Liesi works hard all day, too, but Fritzl somehow feels that he works harder. When he complains about how hard he works and how easy Liesi has it, doing nothing but "putter and potter about the house a bit," Liesi calls his bluff and suggests they trade places.
The outcomes of Fritzl's calamitous day at home are portrayed in Gag's singular illustrations. In the end Fritzl admits that Liesi's work is "none too easy" and begs to return to his fields and not do housework another day.
