Hilarious – and what a beautiful drawing, too. Those guys really knew how to do it.
I agree, the guys and gals did indeed know how to do it!

A piggy doesn’t like being pulled by the hoof like that… And naturally he’d want a parlour car all to himself 😛
You, of course, understand a piggy perfectly. I don’t like to be pulled by a leg either and I too like to travel first class – I am in complete accord with this piggy!
Trotters up,
Elephant
Wow! This is a stunning illustration.
I love it too – one of the best!

Wonderful! Love the nuances in greys… Nicely done.
It is a beautiful illustration and a wonderful comment on the will!
Thanks,
Elephant
Oh, they don’t make railway stations like that anymore; nor would health and safety allow a pig on the premises these days! Do you think there is a little cat/creature in the open bag on the floor?
It almost looks as if there could be a cat/creature there?? I wish I could step into this illustration and be right there with this beautiful pig – and I would untie his leg!
