Twenty-first century Red Riding Hood

Watercolour painting of the little red riding hood sitting at a computer. The wolf is fused with the computer grabbing the attention of the little girl. In the wolf's tummy sits the grand-mother watching telly. The hunter is leaning by a wall, absorbed in his smartphone.

Contemporary take on the Little Red Riding Hood. I came up with that one after receiving a particularly underwhelming flyer from the government warning against the risk of leaving children unmonitored online. The kind of flyer that will only be read by the middle-class parents that are already limiting their kids' screen time and educating them to online safety.
The design was generic. The wording was vague and somewhat abstract.
I'm not fond of this drawing, I think its execution is poor but I felt like demonstrating that surely there must be more impactful takes on the issue.
