Not Your Mother Goose's Three Little Pigs

A while back I had the idea to do my own spin on the classic tale of The Three Little Pigs. The idea started when I was sketching pigs for the album cover I did for Bear Suit Sucker Punch, and it swam around in my head for a while until I had some free time, and I finally got around to whipping something up.

I wanted to keep enough of the characteristics from the original story to keep it recognizable, but still make it all my own. Obviously the Three Little Pigs with the wording alone, ("The first little pig..." etc.), I also kept the building tools of each pig, (hay, sticks, bricks), as well as the wolf "blowing the house down".

Anyway, you get the point. It's basically the three little pigs with a few eyebrow raises thrown in.

Oh, and I also thought it would help them feel like a set if the lines of the story rhymed when read together. I have to give a shout out to Grace Flack of the Fruitful blog for helping me think of the word "fillet" to rhyme with "hay". Girl knows food, and words. Check out her blog!

I give you pigs:
