Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })One of the more successful attempts to reinvigorate the British children's comic, Oink! ran from 1986 to 1988, with several specials afterward. Based in Manchester, it was an ebullient romp created specifically for slightly older readers and contrasted with the older, more stylistically conservative comics which dominated the UK market at the time: The Beano and The Dandy.Oink! featured a regular set of strips with recurring characters, but also often did "theme" issues based around specific topics, such as music. In many ways it resembled Viz more than any contemporary comic: it generally featured more violence and gross-out humour than any of its' peers, as well as satire which probably went over the heads of many readers — they made fun of Morrissey in two separate issues, had a regular character (Mary Lighthouse) to poke fun at Moral Guardians and occasionally took jabs at politicians, but managed to stay relatively clean throughout its run.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Oink! had a spin-off video game and a single, which came free on flexi-disc with a particular issue. | |

Adam Westing: Veteran comics artist John Geering contributed an occasional strip called "Tom's Toe" which was a send-up of the sort of gimmick strips he would be commissioned to draw for other comics. | |

| Oink! (Comic Book) / int_812fc350 | comment |
The Street-Hogs! is set in a near-future (sometime around the Turn of the Millennium) in which pigs are recognised as full citizens (and can ride motorbikes) but there is still an illicit trade in pork and other pig produce. | |

20 Minutes into the Future: The Street-Hogs! is set in a near-future (sometime around the Turn of the Millennium) in which pigs are recognised as full citizens (and can ride motorbikes) but there is still an illicit trade in pork and other pig produce. In the Time Travel issue, we see the Oink Office as it will be in the Year 2000. Basically the same as in 1987, except the staff have been replaced with robots and Uncle Pigg has a flying chair. | |
