| Pete & Pickles | comment |
Pete & Pickles is a children's book written by Bloom County creator Berkeley Breathed, first published in 2008.Pete is a "perfectly predictable", "perfectly practical" pig. His "perfectly uncomplicated" life gets disrupted one night when a runaway circus elephant named Pickles takes hostage in his home. Though Pete initially decides to return her back, he soon has a sudden change of heart when the porcine realizes that Pickles may need a friend. But unbeknownst to the practical Pete, Pickles has some rather unpredictable plans, which may end up breaking Pete's uncomplicated world as he knows it.Soon to have a very loose Actionized Adaptation called Hitpig, which is set for a 2023/24 release.Compare and contrast Elephant & Piggie, another literary elephant and pig duo, except the genders and personalities of the characters are reversed. | |
