With an "oink-oink" here and a "HA-HYAH!" there...
E-I-E-I-O!
Pigs, boars, sows, peccaries, uncooked bacon, suiformes, whatever you call them, this is the index to go hog-wild for tropes about pigs and similar animals.
Despite the name, The Pig-Pen isn't necessarily an example, as it can be about other animals, and Kevlard (although some examples of the trope are pigs) and Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon are right out.
Here a trope, there a trope, everywhere an "oink-oink"
- Brainy Pig: A pig that is smart, or at least of above-average intelligence.
