Well, election season is almost here. The image seemed like a good campaign ad for the usual schmucks with White House aspirations.

Did you match his trotter-prints with those of known piggy bankers?

I haven't YET. But now that I've decided to stop writing about politics, maybe I'll revisit Carlton.

So glad Carlton wasn’t neutered. I’m envisioning him eventually finding a beautiful adventurous ms. piggy, loading a whole litter of little piggies into a giant stroller and heading to the market…leaving the oldest at home to watch for the amazon delivery. After the market they head home to have roast beef…but the second oldest (by 1.5 minutes) piglet was a vegetarian so he had none. And the youngest, in his usual fashion, went weee weee weee all the way home. At home, Carlton looked upon his lovely ms. piggy and his brood with utter contentment.

It sounds like you've got the outline for a great sequel. I'll leave it to you to take over.

Your story was fun and funny, it made me smile. A lovely reprieve from the craziness of the world. Even though it was pretty crazy. But the good kind of crazy. 🐷 💕

We have a pet bunny who is from the moon, and at night time he often returns to the moon for a visit.

He is a Celestial being. Here he is to your left.

That's a very nice looking rabbit. I have an old friend (Julie Riso) who used to live in BudaPest with her bunny. The rabbit has passed away and now my friend lives in the north woods of Michigan (Indian River) with her new bunny. Julie is a really good writer.

Dogs look up to you.

Cats look down on you.

Pigs is equal.

Going to the old folks home is being dumbed down and impotent for sure.

Carlton wasn't having none of those there injections neither.

I wonder where Carlton is now.

Wherever the weak and powerless are bullied and attacked, Carlton will be there like a bright shining light in the darkness.

He was last seen flying towards the Fauci Fortress with a knife in his mouth.

Fly like the wind, Carlton. The world needs more pigs like you.
