穿内裤的狼

《穿内裤的狼》(Le Loup en slip)是一部由法国作者威尔弗里德·鲁帕诺、漫画家玛亚娜·伊图瓦泽和漫画家Paul Cauuet 的儿童漫画。

南京大学出版社在2023年在中国大陆出版了《穿内裤的狼》的中文版。

The book is about a village of animals who wrongly believe that a wolf is set to attack them, but the wolf turns out to be innocent and the others realize their fears were false.

Publishers Weekly described it as a parody of The Big Bad Wolf. Henrietta Verma of Credo Reference stated that the illustration work resembled that of Richard Scarry, and that the storyline refers to "fake news".

In France the book is found in comics sections and children's sections of bookstores.

## Creation and conception

It is a spin-off of The Old Geezers, which featured "The Theater of the Wolf in Underpants" (Le théâtre du loup en slip). Itoïz had previously made paintings of wolves in underwear in a forest to calm her son, who had a fear of wolves, and the authors of The Old Geezers (Lupano and Cauuet) had inserted the character. Itoïz later proposed having a children's book series about the wolf.

## Reception

Verma stated that overall the book is "A winner" with a "fast-moving, amusing narrative", though she stated the end portion is "pedantic".

Kirkus Reviews praised the book for having "a timely, smart message".

Publishers Weekly praised the English version for being "sly" and that the images are "gems of comic timing and choreography".

Deborah Stevenson, a reviewer of the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, stated that the work was "humorous" and held interest of children who did not know of the political dimension behind the work.

In 2020 it was nominated to receive an Eisner Award.
