Review:
By the Hair of their Chiny Chin Chins - B.B. Wolf and the Three LPs

Have you ever wondered why the Big Bad Wolf came to three random pig’s houses? Obviously there had to be some motive for him to do it, and oh what a motive it becomes. Through the use of murder, revenge, and the blues this classic fairy tale turns out to be a tale of the struggles of a man wanting to find peace in his chaotic life.

Cover of the Graphic Novel, truly gives a feel for the time and the stuggles he went through with the torn front.

The wolf’s story begins as a simple life; he and his family live peacefully on their farm while he performs at the local bar in the night. All that quickly changes when the pigs start knocking on his door trying to foreclose his farm and take his only home away. The small town B.B. lives in won’t stand for it though, they stand by his house even when the pigs point their guns straight at their heads. Knowing they have no chance, the pigs leave and times are looking up for him. Continuing his same routine, B.B. goes off to perform a gig at night letting out all the blues he’s been feeling that week, however he leaves his performance only to find tragedy. In his rage, he charges through the night to find Mr. Littlepig, the man who ruined his life and slaughter him where he stood.

From there, B.B. moves onto other locals such as St. Louis and Chicago to learn that the first Littlepig had two other brothers and continues on his rampage. The true irony in this whole tale though is how he constantly tells himself that the revenge won’t fill the emptiness, but continues on his journey of destruction much like he believes it to be the only thing left to do. With only his guitar in hand and a bottle of spirits, B.B is left in this depressed state. With nothing to lose, he continues to kill pigs as they get in his way with no means of reason. Which leads to the best line in the whole book where he asks what a man is to do when there is nothing left in his soul.
