When he approached, Gertie tried to ignore Samson as he had the reputation of being a rogue. But he was friendly and gentle, almost timid. Then he started to talk, paid her compliments and best of all, he made her laugh: “That’s no bull at all, no bull at all…”

I know it’s not quite charcoal but the mind sometimes goes where it will.
When coal and oil was still delivered to households:

Whether it’s the real pig,
the art imitates life pig,
