Cute Pig
FOUND by Nate
in Los Angeles, California
Found while walking to lunch, but didn't pick it up until my way back to work. My co-worker said that he had seen it on his way in that morning - and stepped on it. It was on the sidewalk in front of a building being renovated. I have no idea where the sale was.

big fat pig sale!
Is that how easy it is to draw a passable cartoon piggy? Thanks for the one minute art lesson today, Found! That is, indeed, a cute pig.
I would probably make at least one of the little piggie's ears fold over. and tweak the expression this one doesn't look to happy about being let go so cheaply.
Fat sale....No, thanks. got plenty of that! In fact if you're in the market....
No thanks! Got enough fat already.
Fat that has been suctioned out of famous stars in L.A. On sale! How bout some new lips?
To market, to market, to buy a fat pig.
Home again, home again, jiggety jig.
I'm confused...were they selling a pig??? In Los Angeles??? Weird.
Another one of Lane Bryant's marketing campains.
I think the cute pig is being used as a selling point to get people to show up for the sale (kinda like those bikini-clad harlots they station out by the road at used car blowout sales).
Either that or he's the auctioneer, which would be especially cool if he spoke like porky pig. Then again, it would be kind of hard to tell the difference between Porky and a regular auctioneer.
1. Big fat Greek wedding.
2. Big fat divorce.
3. Big fat garage sale of unreturnable wedding gifts.
Lance's comment reminded me of a *favorite* book here, Tommy at the Grocery Store. Tommy's a pig, see, and he and his mom go grocery shopping, only she leaves him at the store, and all these people buy him, thinking he's something else. There are these great scenes of Tommy *almost* being eaten. It's very funny, told all in rhyme. It's by Bill Grossman, who's got a couple other funny kids' books.
And he better give 'em back! Those funny kids are gonna get mad!
Seriously, all I can think about right now is ham.
Do you think the pig's eyebrows were drawn in purposly or was it a little fuzzy bit dragging off of the side of the marker that caused the eye brows?
turbo,i thought the same thing.HAM!!!!
I think "fat" refers to the size of the sale. I.e it's a Huge, gigantic, Super-Duper, Out of this World, everything is 1/2 off, No offer will be refused, No Credit?, Bad Credit?, make us an offer Everything Must Go, Clearance, Going out of Business, everything must be liquidated, Closing our Doors Forever! Type of sale.
Either that or they misspelled Phat.
I find it amusing that the word BIG is so small.
maybe that (big being written quite small) is to stress the item sold : fat, though that might make quite the groce thing to sell in a yard sale:/
otherwise i'd go along with turbo and pitch, prodicing a bit more than usual saliva while thinking of nice, crisp ham....
What if I don't want any fat?
love the texture of the paper.
I'll bet the sign (with pig) were drawn by someone in a going-out of-business record shop in L.A. Here's what happened...
They posted the sign on one of the windows outside their shop, which happened to be in front of a bus stop. So, while someone was milling around waiting for the bus, they noticed the sign and admired the pig. Admired it so much, they felt they had to comment on it. And why not? That person had just left said music store (on Big Fat Sale Day!) having scored some great finds; Namely, a small stack of crusty punk 7"s (including some real gems, like the Squat or Rot comp they'd been looking to re-aquire ever since that last one was dashed against a wall by an ex- during a fit of random, misplaced, drug-induced rage), a 1/2-off free-for-all in the 'Everything Must Go!' cd section - which garnered no less than two Pixies cds and yet-another copy of Sonic Youths' perennial album, 'Confusion is Sex' (because no one ever returns an album that good when they borrow it), and who can forget the officially licensed Poultrygeist movie poster, of Troma Studios new zombie chicken musical? I'D BE STOKED, TOO.
Doesn't anyone else see that?
No.
Not me.
Wow that looks like something i might have made so fermilar!
