Forget everything you thought you knew about "pig-related antics." This is a plea for greater respect for the pig, a creature so similar to humans. The author Steffen Barth juggles 185 wordplays with the terms human, pig, and sow in a multifaceted manner. Ulf Puder has artistically illustrated 85 of these wordplays; the unillustrated ones on the following pages intentionally leave room for readers' own associations and imagination. It's a cosmos of "pig-related antics" like never seen before. Fantasy, spirit, wit, seriousness, and irony come together in a "ménage à cinq." For the chapter "Pig-related Antics in Painting," Wolfgang Beltracchi created three artworks: pigs in the style of Max Ernst, Roy Lichtenstein, and Henri Matisse. Works by Horst Janssen, Marc Haeberlin, and Tomi Ungerer complete the theme of "pig-related antics.".
