When Pigs Make Merry

Written by eklastic

I’ve shown a collection of butchery signs before. I still keep wondering why the pigs depicted on butchery signs always smile and appear to be really happy. That post is kind of dismembered (ha!) so I will add the relevant pictures below.

This mural on the wall of a butchery takes this concept of happy pigs a step further. It’s a family of pigs at a sunday feast with ham and liverwurst and a coffee cake. And a single pig about to happily munch a whole chain of pork sausages.

Weird but also well executed.

      5. Maybe state wide is better than different pockets with different rules – at least you don’t get the permanent arguing to whom it is applicable or not and it’s easier to enforce.

      6. That is true. There were lockdowns all around my area. The Govt didn’t clearly explain their loose rules either. It was a shitshow right from the start.

  4. Elke, you are so observant and so funny. I never noticed that pigs are always pictured as loving being at the butcher shots. We should all have a field trip to the butcher shops and see if this theory holds out worldwide. This post put a permanent smile on my face. 🙂
