Little Red Riding Wolverine

Once upon a time, there was a fetching young wolverine who, wearing her favorite red hood, went skipping through the fields, on the way to her grandmother's house, carrying a basket of tasty goodies.*

A wolf, who was lurking at the edge of the woods, descended upon the young wolverine and said "Hello, little red riding wolverine, and where are you going in such a hurry?"

"To visit my grandmother," said the young wolverine, as demure and maidenly as a gravelly wolverine baritone can be.

"To visit your...to...grand...to..my goodness, what big teeth you have..." said the wolf, who seemed to have lost his train of thought somewhere.

The wolverine nodded.

"And what...big...claws...you have..." said the wolf, in much the same tone as General Custer commenting on the surprising number of locals at Little Bighorn.

The wolverine nodded.

"I'll just bugger off, shall I?" said the wolf.

The wolverine nodded.

The wolf slunk gratefully back into the trees and hyperventilated quietly, and the little red riding wolverine skipped merrily through the woods to her grandmother's house and they ate assorted rodents and watched cartoons and baked cookies happily ever after.

8 x 14 on illo board, mixed media, and I have no idea either, I was just staring vaguely into space and thought "Hey, that story would have been way different with a WOLVERINE!" and...um...yeah. No clue. Trying out a new type of illo board--knowing what I do now, would have planned a lot more foliage, but at the time I was playing it cautious because I wasn't sure how much you could lift off it. Original for sale, perfect gift for any wolverine lover out there who has already exhausted the broad range of wolverine related merchandise, prints also available, visit [link] or send a note if I haven't updated yet.


*Pepperidge Farms' Mixed Rodent Party Assortment, to be precise, a pretty good value for the money, although everybody always picks through and eats the gerbils first.
