The cartoon is a parody on the tale of Little Red Riding Hood and the published version was accompanied by a poem which warned the laborer of the dangers of socialism as personified by the wolf. It might been motivated by the formation of a group called the Fabian Society in January of 1884, and the increased interest in socialist doctrines as formulated in Henry George's Progress and Poverty (1879) and Karl Marx's Das Kapital (1867).
