This was one of those, done in 1980. I can't recall much about how I got this job, but I do remember that it was meant to be a custom "goodbye" card for an employee of John Morrell's Meats.
The words in the word balloons here were written by the person who commissioned the card, and as I recall they supposedly reflected the different personalities of people working at this company at that time. I believe I was specifically directed to depict all of the people as pigs (I guess because the company did a lot of business in pig meat).
It was a weird gig, but actually kind of fun. I've always like this drawing -- it's probably my best "anthropomorphic pigs sitting around a table" illustration ever. -- PL

cool.thats a textbook odd job.
did the guy ask that they all wear heart shaped glasses too?
to me thats weirder than pigs wearing suits.
That's so awesome! :) We have a John Morrells plant here in our town, so it's a little strange to me. I like the antromorphic pigs :D At least they don't have hair. Miss piggy always weirded me out with that blonde mop of hers :p

Yes, I was told that they should all be wearing the heart-shaped glasses. I don't know why. -- PL
