A surreal comic by satire/SF author Steve Aylett, in the style of The Inflatable Volunteer. A grill-mouthed pig stands between you and failure - so leave it where it is. Would you unleash the chaos... More > of unbelievable mayhem? This and other questions are ignored within the pages of this adventure. Follow our hero through life's expensive agonies, feeding hens and stroking velvet. See him slightly chafing his ears and upper arms. Witness the baleful charms of gravity upon a plummeting wretch as nature behaves like disaster's friend. See a seahorse smile, and then try to tell yourself you expected it. Watch your morality proved a glass anchor. All this is offered, plus a free feeling of dense glee. STEVE AYLETT, author of satire novels LINT and SLAUGHTERMATIC, now makes us all forlorn with his comic about a pig overwhelmed by the world.
