wake up honey
new hog just dropped

Farmers had paintings of their animals commissioned centuries ago and always wanted them painted real chunky. I like the idea of some farmer having people round, pointing at a painting and saying "yeah I had that done, that's my actual pig, he's the fattest guy".

I feel like there should be a children’s book.

Hogs are round
Sheep are oblong
And cows are radically square.

This painting of a Gloucestershire Old Spot is from the Gloucester Museum art collection!

You lost me here. The new hog that just dropped is in the White House - he is a larger guy but not bred in Britain!

That's some pig

When asked why the normal looking animal was clearly not the absolute unit in the painting, was the owners' reply
"Ah, yes. Erm, it went to market yesterday. But it really WAS that big! Honest!" or
"You're right! that ordinary looking one DOES have exactly the same markings. What a coincidence!"?
