The Ubiquitous Pig



The Ubiquitous Pig is a heavily illuystrated, coffee-table book which explores the relationships between humans and pigs, and in particular, the depictions and treatments of pigs in art, literature, and merchandise. Notable examples include the Three Little Pigs, Piglet from the A.A. Milne books, the pig baby in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Porky Pig, and Animal Farm.

A seven page epilogue is titled A Celebration of Miss Piggy. The chapter includes a brief history of Miss Piggy and her development as a character. Accompanying illustrations include excerpts from Miss Piggy calendars, Miss Piggy's Treasury of Art Masterpieces from the Kermitage Collection, Miss Piggy's Guide to Life, and concept art designed by Michael K. Frith, such as an unproduced Miss Piggy Telephone. Elsewhere, the book includes Frith's unused alternate logo for Pigs in Space, and art from Frith's own book detailing the "Boar War," Tipny-Go.
