Hi there,
I'm sorry to report that I checked all the super markets in my area and it seems none of them sell "Pigs in Mud" anymore :(

It's such a shame, I don't think they make them anymore -__-
Sorry again

"Heavy Sigh"

Thanks for looking..... I had done a brief search of the www and could only find one reference in a blog that mentioned them by name..

:noes: It's actually quite sad, I had wanted to find them too. Just because I hadn't had them since I was a kid.
I couldn't find them on the net either.


There is one last hope though. There's this candy store in town that has just about everything under the moon, so I'll ask there when I go into town to donate blood next weekend

Thanks for looking.... a bit of Australian history has passed away.

I'll do a sketch (from memory) for Hannah ...when she is not so busy and she can make a tribute plushie to this now extinct species of biccie.

Maybe you could campaign for a national day of mourning "Pigs in Mud Day" could be a starting point.?

Re your donating blood..only let them have half an armful....any more than that and you just get dizzy.

Regards,
D

I look forward to seeing the plushie lol

Hi,

Thanks! I've just faved your Werewolf character drawing.

I've been working on an idea for a welded metal head and shoulders figure of the Minotaur for some years and though I'll have no problems with the construction of the face..horns etc...

I have been stuck on the idea of how the head should sit on its shoulders? how much of the torso should I include etc? .... Looking at your sketch sets it just right..powerful and angular.

So I hope you don't mind if I use its influences.?

I wish that at 17 I could draw as well as you do.

Thanks once again.

Regards.
D
