The name of this social cartoon is “Little Red” and it was posted on the website joyreactor.com by the user named Re-L Mayer. This cartoon strip is based on the famous Grimm fairy tale, “Little Red Cap”.
“Little Red Cap” is about a young, naive girl who takes a trip to her grandmother’s house one day when she discovers her grandma was not feeling well. Her mother gives Little Red Cap cake and wine to bring and strictly instructs her to go straight down the path without talking to strangers or stopping and getting distracted. To her dismay, she meets the wolf and discloses her grandmothers location. The wolf manipulates Little Red Cap into going off the path and picking flowers, while he rushes to her grandmothers house and gobbles her up. He eventually gobbles Little Red Cap up,n as well, shortly after she arrives, but they are later rescued by a huntsman who cuts them out of the wolf’s stomach. After pulling them out, the huntsman sews rocks up in the wolf’s stomach, killing him.
This comic strip takes an interesting approach to the original fairy tale. Yes, the wolf eats Little Red’s grandmother, but she is completely unaware (which emphasizes her naive-ness). Little Red places her “grandmother” (the wolf) in a nursing home once she sees how messy her house is, acknowledging the fact that she is not capable of taking care of herself. My favorite past of this cartoon was the wolf’s reaction once he is in the nursing home and realizes that his plan has gone downhill.
