The ‘swine’ is a formidable figure, sure you can handle him, Walnut ?

Walnut doesn’t need a sling; his endless complaints will bore Imeswine to death!

Shoot a Breezers down his throat. I know that’s not how you spell it, but I forgot.

Imeswine is really a swine this time!

“Bad breath in hogs”! (Like the old Milk-Bone commercial) !

It isn’t Porky Pig.

You got this Walt…..time to bring home the bacon!

“Gazali” – I like that.

He looks better than the real o ne.

well this is going now where fast but nice to see a young Walt again and drawn simular it his older version

From today’s Comic Curmudgeon":

“OK, see, I get that Assistant Mayor Elbert Imeswine was the villain of the “Electric Acres” arc, but he doesn’t seem to be based on any particular real-life person and was dispatched without ever having been very threatening. But still, the way he haunts Walt’s dreams as this truly vile vampire pig caricature implies a level of vitriol held by the very artist who created him that I honestly find puzzling. This looks like the way you’d draw a local politician you were in the midst of a decade-long feud with if you were the political cartoonist on the staff of the local paper, or the way you’d draw a representation of some ethnic group that you were extremely racist against.”

That sound you hear is the bottom off the barrel being scrapped

So let’s see how good Walt is with a slingshot and five stones!
