BIG BAD WOLF MODEL SHEET FROM 1939

The above item, which was recently offered on ebay, appears to be a model sheet of the Big Bad Wolf for the cartoon The Practical Pig (1939).
On the other hand, the below vintage tin box from a UK-based seller was recently sold at an ebay auction for 55 US dlrs. The rather ugly illustration on the lid appears to be modeled from the cover of the Blue Ribbon book Three Little Pigs (1933).

Another interesting item recently offered on ebay was the below framed calender sheet from 1942:

CAN YOU FIND THE THREE PIGS BEFORE BIG BAD WOLF DOES?

The above scan is from the vol. 4 no. 7 of Mickey Mouse Magazine dated March 1939. Honestly, I myself can not spot any of the pigs in the picture... If you do, please tell us where!

The same issue also featured the poster of the cartoon short The Practical Pig, which was released in the previous month, on its back cover:

BIG BAD WOLF IN DRAG

In the cartoons of the 1930s, Big Bad Wolf was portrayed as a master of disguises and his attempts to capture the three pigs quite frequently involved female impersonations as well. In the last pigs vs wolf cartoon, titled Practical Pig (1939), he would even cross-dress as a mermaid... A four-page illustrated story adaptation of this cartoon was published in vol. 4 no. 8 of Mickey Mouse Magazine in May 1939 and the mermaid scene made its cover (*):


Below are scans of the wolf-ish illustrations from this story:



It should also be noted that the plot (and title) of the same cartoon had also formed the basis of a Sunday newspaper comics continuity serialized in 1938 before the cartoon's release. In the Sunday comics version, Big Bad Wolf cross-dresses as a female gypsy rather than a mermaid and that scene had made the cover of an Italian comics album in the same year:

And below is the cover of a 1939 French edition of Practical Pig:

In the US, there also appeared three different editions of Practical Pig books in 1939-40, none which I have seen myself so far, but one (according to A. Beccatini) appears to be based on the comics version and hence presumably replaces the mermaid scene with the gypsy scene.

(*) I am sorry for the poor condition of the cover I had scanned, but MMM issues are very expensive items in the collectors market and I could afford only a "fair-condition" copy of this issue.. :-(
