Pigstorming: You Ought to be in Pigtures
By Chris Dunmire, Publisher
Did you know there is a holiday for pigs and their enthusiasts on March 1 called National Pig Day? I just learned about it after doing some research on the hooves of my latest Nit Wits comic (#41: "Pigtures") and it's accompanying silly write-up. Of course I realize we're entering the month of May, but since we missed a great pigportunity to celebrate with cheese and swine back in March, I'd like to revisit this hogiday just for a few moments to reflect on some noteworthy pigs with you. Ha! The pig pun fun has just begun »
