    I’m not understanding the context for this. Who is hosting the interview, red, or the wolf? Why is an interview being held? Red said that wolf mentioned “eating grandma” off screen. Was that during the awkward walk-in, or just earlier in the interview? Why does wolf always start his sentences with the word “listen”?

      An anonymous third person is interviewing Red and the wolf separately. We’re bouncing between their two interviews, seeing both of their reactions to the same situation.

      The interview is a way for the comic artist to tell this awkward version of the Red Riding Hood story without actually showing it.

      The situation is about the wolf “eating grandma” (a euphemism for a sex act). Which is why Red is traumatized by walking in on them.

      The wolf is probably being defensive, hence why he keeps asking the interviewer to “listen.” He’s trying to make his case as plainly and directly as he can and he wants the interviewer to pay attention.

        I watched Jon Stewart interview someone recently and the first word out of her mouth for every single question was “Listen”. At first it was a quirk but quickly became irritating as hell.
