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.

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”.

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

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.

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?”

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.

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.

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)

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