Selfish Pigs is a book of pigs acting like jerks to everyone. Or rather, a book of mostly single image, black and white cartoons of pigs acting like jerks to everyone.
Written by Andy Riley of The Book of Bunny Suicides fame, this book was published in 2009.
Tropes:
- Blatant Lies:
- One pig tells a security guard he was wearing the samurai armour he’s been caught wearing when he entered… while in the middle of an exhibit on samurai armour, which has one case broken from the outside and glass everywhere.
- Another eats most of the free samples on offer and states that they taste terrible, before demanding the last two to “make sure”.
- Bouquet Toss: A pig uses a hang glider to cheat at this.
- Disproportionate Retribution: One pig pulls a gun on his acquaintance for trying to change the channel on the TV.
- It's All About Me: As the title indicates, the pigs are all selfish jerkasses.
- Jerkass: Special mention goes to one pig who claims that a lift he is the only occupant of is full and wields a club while saying this.
- Karma Houdini: None of the pigs are shown suffering for their rudeness.
- Tap on the Head: A pair of pigs are shown setting up to drop a rock on the head of Gollum and catch the One Ring.
