Isn’t there a very famous children’s story about a pig that is more equal than the other pigs?
I wouldn’t exactly call it a children’s story
My school had me read it when I was a kid.
I think you could read it to children.
You can read anything to children…
I once saw someone read a Metallica song to their kid as a bedtime story.
Hush little baby, Don’t say a word…
And never mind that, fire baaaaad!
Four legs good
Two legs

Now I’m imagining a pig wearing programming socks.
What about Police? :O
The whole term sprung up when founding black panthers were studying police methodologies and found a precinct that used a pig as a mascot.
Dumb question: what is this illustration from? I recognize the art style, but can’t place it.
looks like Richard Scarry
The Busy World of Richard Scarry
Thanks!
Brendan Fraser Crane is an interesting handle
If I paid more attention in English class I could make this into an essay. Something about the “dog eat dog” nature of capitalism and the expectation that you will do it with rosy cheeks. The use of the butcher pig is an interesting take on the idiom as the harsh competition is often thought of as between faceless firms; rather than a blue collar worker. If I was a cultured pig I might have even watched the motion picture “Soylent Green” and weave it into the essay. Is the butcher aware of what goes into the grinder? Could it be that this pig is a revolutionary and is eating the rich pig?
A pig could sit in front of a computer in those books right? Right?!
Does a muppet count?
Am I missing the obvious sarcasm that is somehow not mentioned? as in this pig is an obvious CLASS TRAITOR for being a pig that sells parts of (presumably) other pigs?
It’s allll beef, no pig :)

Edit: huh, the ‘+’ did do what i intended but didn’t believe it would work.
You can’t convince me the pig in the third pic isn’t Winne the 🇨🇳 Pooh.
Ah, the pig is preparing soylent oligarch-green, a most sustainable job, I applaud you, pig.
There is a job that can be represented without any clothes at all.
Why is the pig a cannibal
It’s human meat.
Its just a long pig
Or is pork short human?
They roughly have the intelligence of a 3 year-old, so…
My God they could run for Congress
Pairs well with mountain oysters.
Understandable, have a great day.
🎶Big man, pig man… haha how charade you are…🎶
Capitalism makes cannibals of us all. 😔
Need entrepreneurial animal farm with a French guillotine twist
They’re eating human
I could totally imagine a clothed pig sitting in front of a computer
Literally me (to be fair I’m not always clothed).
A pig wearing a shirt and tie, but no pants.
So the average cartoon character
Pigs will eat anything.
