This adaptation of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" replaces the canid with Bigfoot, who narrates the tale ("I didn't normally talk to a Littlefoot. But there was something about this Ben I liked"). Magoon mostly embellishes rather than expands on the story, but his digital illustrations are quite funny (to corroborate his lie, Ben stamps the ground with cutouts of giant footprints).
