When Pigs Make Merry

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.

I’m a fan of pigs

Whether it’s the real pig,

the art imitates life pig,

or the anything goes pig (sorry, no picture of “Pigs in Space”).

I’ve never understood why butchers love to feature happy little pigs looking forward to end their lives as sausages on their signs.

But they are all Very Important Pigs, it seems.
