Threadless Tees is helping [Little Red Riding Hood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weetabix) finally point the finger at the wolf that held her hostage and tried to eat her grandma.

Threadless Tees designer Smartkat created ‘The LineUp,’ a shirt that shows Little Red Riding Hood picking the wolf out of a lineup of other famous villains including Frankenstein’s monster, Medusa and the [Wicked Witch of the West](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-themed-care-bears).

The wolf, or number 6 in the lineup, is still wearing the grandmother's hat and slippers. Take a look at the [funny shirt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-tee) by Smartkate and Threadless Tees.
