    ah! an adorable ERS take on EBJ's pig cartoon :) how much coolness and intelligence you've captured in the single line of his mouth.

    This is a really great pig. He (or she) would make an excellent cartoon character.

    Love it - you made me laugh. The pig is somewhat noble, but quite nonchalant, and the "SOWHAT" sign is fabulous!!! :)

    Anyway, I just saw your site and loved your sweet surrealistic creatures! I like the not-so- sweet too. Your idle thoughts are genious: I'll stop by again soon!

    Oh! This made me laugh--both the delightful drawing of the pig and the "so what?" comment. What a bizzare thing--national pig day.

    I was also going to say that I love your little chicken drawings--so much character!

    Charlotte's Web is my favorite book of all time, and this reminds me of the sensitive drawings of Wilbur by Garth Williams. Such a sweet, contemplative pig...glad they have their very own day!!

    Oh criminy. Was I supposed to buy a Hallmark card on that day? No wonder my pig has been giving me the silent treatment.
