The cartoon depicts the big bad wolf approaching Little Red Riding hood. She looks at him as he says "Hi-I'm one of your facebook friends.
This cartoon in particular is a social one. To me, it means that we have anyone on our social media. I know I personally don't know everyone who is on my different social media outlets. Not everyone we let into our life has good intentions. As we all know from the story of the Little Red Riding Hood, the wolf wasn't a good person. The cartoon can be saying to beware of you have on your socials, but there's another way it can be interpreted and that's that social media doesn't respect privacy. For instance, Snapchat can give someone your location. If you do a Facebook live, someone can find your location. In this cartoon, the wolf may have used the naive Little Red Riding Hood's social media in order to findher. How else would he know that she was on a trail in the forest? It doesn't seem like he just ran into her.
