THE LATEST BIG BAD WOLF COMICS

I find the artwork pleasing and more than decent enough.

It is an adaptation of the fable 'The Sky Is Falling' in which the cunning fox's role is taken by the Big Bad Wolf:








In the original fable, the fox does get to devour the chicken!.., as was the case in the Disney cartoon short adaptation Chicken Little (1943).
