Vitruvian Swine and Flying Pigs - Redux

Vitruvian Swine and Flying Pigs – Redux

9th May, 2009

The image of the Vitruvian Swine idled in my imagination for several years before it debuted on Porkopolis.org. I have since discovered that many other folk have independently arrived at a similar conception of da Vinci and the swine. None of these have appealed to my inner oinkeological nature so much as the swine at Matt Buck’s Hack web site.

Wonderella

Wonderella

23rd March, 2009

I’ll be leaving Porkopolis for a few days this week to work, do research and visit family in NYC. Luckily for me, there is a superhero there – Wonderella – whose eye is on the pig, so I know she’s watching out for me, too.

HER! [GIRL VS PIG]

HER! [GIRL VS PIG]

27th September, 2008

HER! [GIRL VS PIG] is a web comic by Chris Bishop. Gratuitously, beautifully, joyfully violent, this is the classic struggle of girl vs. pig. The Girl and The Pig are involved in interactions where they usually end up inflicting violence of some sort on one another.
