Why do strong men fear Wolf Gal? The reason was that Wolf Gal, who had been raised by a pack of timber wolves (dubbed her “Dogpatch”), was always on the lookout for a man… So she could bring him back to her wolves and feed him to them. Notes: Although the point was never stressed, Wolf Gal was possibly, and even probably, a cannibal, since she considered herself an animal, as did the rest of her “Dogpatch.” Wolf Gal was briefly merchandised with her own doll, hand-puppet, and even latex Hallowe’en mask. Although her look was fairly consistent, the coloring changed from appearance to appearance. At times, she was blonde, redhead, or white-haired.
