New Puppet-- Brother of the Big Bad Wolf

Here he is, just in from Pavlov's Puppets in Czechoslovakia, Louie Wolf, brother of the infamous but deceased Big Bad Wolf. Louie claims that his brother was framed by a band of disgruntled pigs. As a member of the Wolf Anti-Defamation League, Louie wants to set the record straight about all of those nursery rhymes and fairy tales that picture wolves as villains. "The huffing and puffing," says Louie, "was caused by my brother's asthma. He raced to their house to warn them of the on-coming tornado. In return for his kindness, he was boiled alive in the pot of those canibal pigs." When asked about the Little Red Riding Hood story, Louie replied, "Fiction, pure fiction, made up by the Grim Brothers who were bankrolled by the Pig lobby. It is high time someone speak up for the wolves."
