When the craze they invented--oinking--becomes passé, three porcine bigwigs have to brainstorm a new idea to stay in the limelight. The story's poke at fads and fame is amusing for adults but will likely fly over the heads of children. Boldly outlined digital illustrations in muted shades of aqua, purple, and pink show the hogs decked out in old-school corporate attire.
