      I didn’t grow up with access to Nickelodeon. And Pokemon, and X-men were more of what I wanted to watch.

      I mean it makes the most sense with him being a pig.

      Pigs will eat anything.

      Makes as much sense as hogs promoting BBQ on billboards. Or Chester Chicken (the sheriff) promoting Chester’s Fried Chicken

      I had forgotten until I saw this comment but now I distinctly remember a game where you were supposed to make a cake for a pig by following steps like putting the correct ingredients into the mixer. My sister and I used to repeatedly mess up the cake on purpose because the pig would eat it no matter what and we found it hilarious to feed him awful cakes made entirely of burnt eggshells.

    Big fans. Our kids grew up on all the books and original TV shows. Then they remade the animated series, which brought along a line of stuffed animals. They had all of them, including an original felt Lowly. My wife even named her cat SallyKat.
