    It’s true that many stories for kids are actually pretty violent. Grimm’s fairy tales are an example…

    Many old tales for children were violent and gruesome on purpose, to explain them why they shouldn’t do this or that – I believe the message of “Little Red Riding Hood” was “don’t talk to strangers”.

    Some of the characters I used in the previous post were eaten by the parser here. Above I was referring to “The Red Fairy Book” and others of the series with different color names.

    I’m reminded of the Walt Kelly sequence where the kids down in the swamp put a crime story spin on Albert the Alligator’s attempt to read them “Who Killed Cock Robin?” I believe the rackety-coon child’s words are an appropriate response to the mom’s words in the last panel: “My eyeballs ain’t so innocent as you suppose.”

    I almost hate to admit it, but I LOVE ‘Grimm’ on NBC. :)
