Commie Pigs
Comics, objects, 2013
Somewhere in the deep, dark woods, there are two angry pigs living in a house made from the leftovers of a granite Lenin. The Great Global Revolution they are planning there is the biggest happening of the century! Mighty Communism must be reborn to bless the people with prosperity again!
Then the right time comes... Capitalism is sufficiently rotten and the pigs hit the dangerous road to the far East...
“Commie Pigs” is an eventful story, inspired by the popular slogans of totalitarian regimes about the ideals of communism, with a hint of the style of a modern action movie. The fearless pigs, obsessed by their idea, fail to notice that there is nobody left with a red neckcloth, and there’s only a fading grin left on people’s faces about the “workers’ victory”. Through the use of their guerilla fighting techniques and even some revolutionary occultism, the pigs are ready to give happiness to everyone, even if their audience doesn’t want to accept it.
Anybody can support the efforts of the Commie Pigs, by receiving a comic strip and mentally becoming one of the many comrades in the Great Revolution!
