| BIOGRAPHICAL DETAILS: |
Despite his name "Little Bad Wolf" he is actually a very good little wolf, much to his father, Big Bad Wolf's chagrin. He is the constant companion of the Three Little Pigs, and must often save them from his father's appetite. In his introductory tale, Big Bad tells his son to become friends with Practical Pig, and then lure him outside. Li'l Bad naively tells Practical the true purpose of his visit, still Practical invites Li'l Bad indoors for several plays of checkers. The two become fast friends, which of course infuriates Big Bad. Another regular who has appeared a couple of times in the USA, but reappears regularly in European Disney comics is Li'l Bad's mean cousin Izzy Wolf. Li'l Bad made a brief cameo appearance in the court room during his father's trial in a case that could only be called 'Three Little Pigs v. the Big Bad Wolf' where an obvious send-off to the once popular television show "The People's Court" featuring Judge Wopner, is called "The Porker's Court." Judge Jump'n Jack Hopner (the "Totally Tasteless Video" M. C. as part of Disney's "Raw Toonage") presides over a contemporary version of the tale of the Three Little Pigs. |
| HISTORICAL FACTS: |
Strangely enough, the Big Bad Wolf was given a name in comics, Zeke, while Li'l Bad, created for comics, is consigned to a misnomer. |
