The Big Bad Wolf is named as such because he is relatively tall in stature, and because ethically his loyalties lie at the negative end of the fairy tale scale. Perhaps also because his 'badness' is magnified when prefixed with a 'big'.
He is unsavoury, manipulative, a shyster, and the quintessential children's story antagonist. His comeuppance has been a long time comeuppancing. However, today, as this laFraise T-shirt depicts, the Big Bad Wolf was apprehended by a bulldog, testified against by the likes of Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother, and sentenced to several hundred years in a prison far far away by the Three Little Pigs. He was found guilty of destruction of property, breaking and entering, identity fraud, intimidating a minor, first degree murder, and a laundry list of other offences that will see him locked away for longer than Sleeping Beauty taking a nap.
The courtroom scene was sketched by laFraise design community member graetz (actually it was painstakingly illustrated) before being printed by the online T-shirt submission platform, and then donated to my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE T-shirt challenge by Nathalie.
The T-shirt has the amusingly pithy title "That's All, Folk" - the typical outro message declared at the end of Warner Brothers cartoons and indeed at the end of this outlaw's freedom.
