"...SO WHILE THE BIG BAD WORLD HUFFED AND PUFFED, THE THREE LITTLE PIGS UNLOCKED THEIR AK-47'S AND SET THEM ON AUTOMATIC..." REVISED CLASSICS FOR AMERICANS
This little piggy went to the market,This little piggy stayed home,This little piggy had roast beef,This little piggy had none,And this little piggy went postal.
The Three Little Pigs all have the proper Federal tax permits, and weapons manufactured prior to May 1986?Shoot, a semi-automatic weapon of more recent manufacture would cost you a whole lot less and knock the stuffing out of the Big Bad Wolf without having to use up the whole clip in 3 seconds.
Why does everyone think the pigs having the means of protecting themselves is ridiculous? Without their mythical automatic AK-47s; which were properly locked up, it seems; they’d all be dead.
Well, that’s just ridiculous. Little pigs couldn’t possibly be effective with automatic weapons. The recoil would send every shot but the first high and they would burn through all their ammo without hitting a thing.This must be the straw man house.Maybe tomorrow we can have the stick figure house.I don’t expect we will actually see the inside of a structurally sound consideration of the topic, however, no matter how we might huff and puff.Isn’t this like one of the greatest comics ever?
the version of ‘this little piggy’ that I used to tell my kids and grandkids ended with the line ‘And THIS little piggy…..hadporkchops’causehewasacannibal!’
It would be foolish to use full automatic mode, as Brassorchid points out. the AK47 is not accurate in that mode, the recoil causes it to shoot too high. Use semi automatic mode for carefully aimed deadly accuracy.
Liberals are an enigma. They insist we should not judge all Muslims by the crazy acts of a few, yet it is absolutely critical that we judge all gun owners by the crazy acts of a few.
Back in the day older kids were allowed to take their guns to school so that when school let out they could immediately go out hunting. It was quite common to see a pickup truck going down the road with one or two rifles or shotguns hung on the rear window gun rack. Yet during that time you never heard of school shootings.
Now, when guns aren’t even allowed near a school and few even have gun racks in their trucks much less guns, the hot topic always seems to be the latest public shooting.
It is not the gun that has changed, it is the morality of the people. Unfortunately, correcting the moral problem in this country is something no one wants address (on either side of the aisle) because that is a subject that might just hit a little too close to home.
It is the modern version.People or pigs have the right to defend themselves.Like Arnold the Pig on green acres.. The bank robbers stole his money at the bank so he led the police to them and they were arrested. The bank robbers could not believe it. Then Eva Gabor said well pigs always squeal.
Nobody uses full auto unless you’re laying down suppressing fire to keep your enemies’ heads down while your buddies make a move.Burning through all your ammo in a couple of seconds just isn’t a good idea, action movies not withstanding.
@Wiley Miller: I understand that generalizing is necessary for many people to enable them to organize and understand an increasingly complex world, but doing so also has its drawbacks. There will always be exceptions to generalizations such as the case here. Most Americans do not own guns, and far fewer own AK-47s. Only a simpleton would group all Americans together as gun owners ready to face a threat with automatic weapons. I realize that Non Sequitur is “humor,” and I have to admit one of my favorite comic strips, but his particular one offends me.
I like the version where the EPA comes in, informs the pigs that the wolf is an endangered spicies, seizes the AK-47s, removes the locks from the doors and leaves.
An average of 40 people a year are killed by pigs in the U.S. and Canada. There is one, ONE provable case of a person being killed by wolves in the U.S., and that was fairly recently in Alaska. Tell the kiddies the truth, and they’ll start rooting for the wolf, and fearing pigs.
P.S. When I was a kid, one of our pigs tried to kill my dad when he was feeding them, it almost succeeded, and taught me real respect for “domestic” animals. Our veterinarian neighbor was also nearly killed by a Holstein bull one day, and our friend’s African lion was another of his patients, and Tyke was more gentle than most of the rams in our sheep herds!
the kid doesn’t seem to be enjoying the story as much as the dad..Original Goldilocks – can’t quite remember…. does she get eaten or manage to jump out the window and run for it?
Finally, someone who realizes that a real AK-47 is a selective fire weapon unlike the semi-auto copies sold now. And you don’t have to be an NRA member to know that, just do some research or have spent some time in the US military.

Probably has a better ending for the pigs then watching their homes be destroyed and then starved out of the one remaining.

In the sequel, the three little pigs use the “stand your ground” defense for shooting the mailman, being afraid he might have been a home invader.
ColonelClaus over 10 years ago
American version? Uh isn’t the AK-47 a Soviet gun?
tripwire45 over 10 years ago
Go pigs go! Home defense at its finest.
Mr. Blank over 10 years ago
I don’t read your comic for satire, Wiley. Please leave your opinions out of it.

That is the way I read the stories to my sons, except that the wolf was with EPA.
KSfarmgirl over 10 years ago
Personally- I prefer the original version to read (or tell) to my great-grand children.

Insane version from the gop with assistants of the nra where ignorance is tradition and paranoia is a way of life.

One shot from a 30-30 and no more wolf problems. Now about that pesky endangered species act….

If they’re all-American piggies they would have M-16s.

However the huffing and puffing was Wolf firing up the engine on the M1 Abrams……AK47’s be damned and full speed ahead.

What country does this idea really belong to? Sub title “The Three Little Terrorists” would go over very well in Iran or any of those other countries.

The Three Little Pigs were “standing their ground.”

Nothing like anti-second amendment propaganda in a comic strip. Didn’t think this was CDoonsberry!
