[My pig](http://drawapig.desktopcreatures.com/gallery/large.asp?id=240155&p=0&hof=0) is a little messy because of my sticky mouse.

Ah! Hit submit by accident. Did I mention my foused up mouse?

And I wasn’t paying attention to the directions and named it “Happy Valley” after the farm in Babe instead of my screenname, but I did put SDMB on it.

Those are some nice looking pigs.

[Sarah Woodruff’s pig is hungry.](http://drawapig.desktopcreatures.com/gallery/large.asp?id=240260) I thought the picture would be higher res, so you can’t see that the dish says “FOOD.” My pig is a literate pig.

[Just call me Old Major](http://drawapig.desktopcreatures.com/gallery/large.asp?id=240590&p=0&hof=0). Done with an eraserhead mouse (or whatever you call 'em).

As for the personality part? Pretty far off.

I also didn’t look at any other pigs before drawing [mine](http://drawapig.desktopcreatures.com/reviewDONE.asp?id=241981)

Clearly I have no artistic talent.

**Johnny L.A.** , are you _sure_ you’re not Quentin Blake? Check out any of his illustrations for Roald Dahl’s books (but especially “The Giraffe, the Pelly and Me”) to see what I mean!

Do you have a link?

Speaking of drawing pigs…

I was at a New Year’s Eve party once. Some Hollywood-person who did some publicity for the original _Star Wars_, or something. No idea how I got into it. Anyway, there was a sheet of paper on the cupboard that said ‘Please _do not_ use the plates in this cupboard. They are kosher. There are paper plates on the table for your vile pork-infested products.’

There was a drawing of a pig’s face, and the pig was weeping. The dialog balloon said, ‘God made me, too. And boy, was he good! _sniff_’

Unfortunately, no. I even googled “Quentin Blake” under images, and incidentally, he did a pig drawing for Orwell’s “Animal Farm” that I had been unaware of. They are very sophisticated pigs!

Anyhow, there’s just something about the way you did the eyes, ears and snout of your pig that screams Blake’s style at me. Hie thee to your local public library’s kiddie section, and bask in the glory that is Roald Dahl, greatest children’s storyteller who ever lived, accompanied by the satirical and whimsical illustrations of Blake! That’s an order! Same goes for the rest of you blokes!
