    Something deep inside me really hopes this is about the sex games of wolf furries. If that is the author’s intention, it’s a LOL. Otherwise, it’s either a CIDU or just not that amusing.

    I assumed that the joke is simply that the wolf husband is telling his wife that he does not have to humiliate himself any longer by wearing a sheep suit to get their dinner; he can wear a more respectable business suit because he has an interview for a job.

    I suspected that there was some intended subtlety or pop-culture reference that I missed, though.

    Think the idea is that becoming a businessman is a good fit for a wolf — last year it would have been an “interview on Wall Street.” Calling his companion “baby” has sort of a con man ring to it.

    Sorry to disappoint y’all, but I think it’s just a reference to the phrase “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

    Of course it’s a reference to “a wolf in sheep’s clothing”. The questions are 1) why is he in a business suit instead? Is it somehow more respectable (from a wolf’s point of view) to be in a suit? and 2) why does “baby” appear to be somewhat disappointed by the change?

    There just might be a little bit of “bedroom dress-up” suggested here, which Mr. Wolf no longer has time for. Or maybe it’s a food chain joke, because wolves in sheep’s clothing eat sheep, but the “suits” eat new employees up (and spit out the ties.)

    A wolf in sheeps clothing is a way of saying that someone is trying to take advantage of you. … the wolf having donned the suit is getting out of the scamming game and going legit .. he has an interveiw for a real job

    So the one on the right is another wolf? Not a dog? Hmm, that helps. … But not that much, actually.

    My first thought was “Someone just watched The Fabulous Mr. Fox”.

    Another vote for: it is just a reference to the phrase “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

    Why he is wearing a suit and heading to an interview, as opposed to, say, wearing jorts and a T-shirt and going to the mail? My take is there is no “real” reason, other then the suit is more fitting as to what we generally attribute as the “personality” of a wolf. (see minorannoyance@3)

    Recession humor.

    Judge Mental (9) - You got me with that “jorts” reference. I had to look it up and there’s another new word for my vocabulary.

    Simple: He’s moving up and away from chasing sheep, to the corporate, back-stabbing world. He is aiming for a career as a lawyer or banker or stockbroker. Plenty of opportunities for a carnivore.

    So let’s see — it’s funny because it’s unusual for a wolf to dress up in a suit, whereas it’s perfectly normal for him to walk on his hind legs and speak English?

    Reminds me of the joke about the two horses, Ned and Ed. You probably know it. It goes on and on, taking about 15 minutes to tell, and the punch line is that Ned says to Ed, “Ed, did you know that dog can talk?”

    I think it’s an example of the clothes making the man, or in this case, the clothes making the wolf. Why dress up as a sheep when he can get a real job without resorting to being oblique.

    Considering white-collar office culture these days, are you sure that isn’t sheep’s clothing?

    Thanks, Elyrest (11) for looking up “jorts”, and getting me to google the term. I was just assuming that it was a typo. I’ve never heard the term before; we always call them either “shorts” or “cut-offs”.

  17. Snardo Sep 14th 2010 at 11:42 am 17

    If nothing else, I suppose you could say that it’s now a wolf in *chic* clothing. I’m surprised no one else went for that one already.
