Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

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.
