Revision as of 21:31, 9 January 2015
I think this comic also contains a pun on macrobiotics. Esp. the wording "out of balance" seems to be a reference to esoteric speech. Knob creek (talk) 09:13, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
In fairy tales (most notably in little red riding hood), the wolf swallows whole its (human) victims. The comic depics an inversion of roles. Do you think it's worth adding this observation in the explanation? 188.114.99.18 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- That's what I took it to mean too, the two options being he swallows the wolf or the wolf swallows him. 141.101.98.159 12:35, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
Another pun might be on the name of a restaurant in Seattle: [How to Cook a Wolf] Araucaria (talk) 15:53, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
- That's so extremely obscure that thinking it intended is difficult. - Equinox 199.27.128.117 16:59, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
- Is a citation really needed?
I think that requiring a citation for the lethality of administering a wolf via the mouth or rectum may be going just a bit too far? Reference in the Change history Pmw57 (talk) 10:25, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
- I assume that this is a humorous comment, similar to the citation needed tags in the What-if articles. 141.101.98.237 12:04, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
- Good point, could be a joking reference to xkcd #285 173.245.52.138 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
