Funny thing is, Lil Bad Wolf was kinda popular here in France. He even had his own magazine!!
It was part Lil Bad Wolf comics, Rescue Rangers comics, mostly educational content and also showed non-Disney French comics.
Lil Bad Wolf was also made more "kewwwl" with wearing a jacket and jeans, but he still acted like an innocent kid, and Big Bad Wolf Zeke was usually more stupid and naive than evil. In fact, Lil Bad Wolf would usually act like the adult. (Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? indeed)
Also among his friends, Meana, a girl wolf who was his love interest. A very minor character in old "3 Little Pigs" "Forest" comics, she became a modernized little girl in the French comics. She was like a miniature mischievous Minnie... she also wore a bow and overalls like late-80s/early-90s French Minnie!!
Of course, for her reintroduction, she playfully makes fun of an insecure fat kid... who is crushed by this! Thankfully, she makes up for it later!
Other characters were Song of the South Brer Fox and Brer Bear's sons: Alfred and Junior!
Yeah! They're modern "kewl" kids now! Alfred is more of a bully, and Junior is that insecure fat kid I was talking about earlier...
Unfortunately, the magazine got too "kewl" for its own good. And by that, it was deemed that using Disney characters was too uncool... It was Lil Bad Wolf only in name, with his comics barely appearing in the magazine proper...
And then, in the early 2000s, the magazine got rid of Disney property altogether and became Kid Paddle, named after that new radikal fashionable comic about a video game playing-kid. Isn't it much better, more endearing and attractive?
I loved P'tit Loup magazine as a kid. But after seeing more of its magazines when I got older, I have to admit it hasn't aged very well...
Still, I will hunt down those specific issues of my childhood.
