The real pressing question is who is in the sausage though.
The other pig that went to the market.
You where today years old when you realised he wasn't picking up groceries.
That fucker Neil.
Horses
this has severe conservative energy. the fuck is this even supposed to mean? if you're paid for it, it's a job, dumbass. that's literally the only metric.
I think it's trying to say that intellectual jobs are not jobs. Which is demonstrably not true.
If all the investment bankers went away we'd probably be fine but if all the cyber security experts went away there'd be a big problem. The job is labour intensive, but one of them is much less important than the other.
Understood. Time to make a living by butchering my own kind and turning them into sausages.
Now hold on there Sweeney Todd
I can imagine a pig collecting the labour value of the proletariat through his investments in capital and living it up on a yacht with a bunch of cocaine and piggy hookers
All animals are equal but some are more equal than others
Also isn't that pig making products out of other pigs?
Idk why but I'm busting up over piggy hookers
The converse is not necessarily true. I can imagine a pig sitting at a desk writing code, but that doesn't mean my job isn't bullshit.
I reckon a lot of people would consider my job to not be a real job, but I can imagine a pig sitting in front of a computer just fine.
Just turn off the screen, you'll see one. /s
Ha, nice try, I don't work for the police
Are there jobs you can't imagine? Isn't that the point of imagination?
Quick scan if the comments and not seeing anything about how this pig likely just chopped up either friends or family to turn into bologna for a worm driving an apple.
All beef bologna. Cows are an underclass in the Richard Scary universe.
They know what they did.
Issue #2 of Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees (recent comic, basically Dexter meets Richard Scarry, really good!) had a cover that played off of this lol.
Your lack of imagination has no bearing on the validity of my, or anyone else's job.
As an artist I cannot think of a single thing this disqualifies. Including sex work.
I get where you're coming from, and I would love to see a Richard Scary take on "AI Prompt Engineer" or "Influencer".
Pig Hannibal Lecter
I can imagine a pig in a children's book sitting in front of a computer with several empty coffee cups surrounding it. That covers about 40% of the job market these days.
Here you go
That pig is way to cheerful at doing it's mind numbing corporate job. But then again it's less bad than the sociopath butcher pig.
Oh no I don’t think a piggy can hold a pipetter
Fuck outta here with this shit.
Meaning all jobs are valuable or he has no imagination?
Hard disagree. I can easily imagine anyone in this scenario including some Instagram influencer peddling crypto schemes as this pig.
So... Who's for dinner?
I can picture it, but I cannot imagine the pig happy.
Well I can't imagine a pig drawing this so that's a pretty idiotic metric
For the abolition of work. Yes really, abolish work! Not "reform work" but the destruction of work as a separate field of human activity.
To save the world, we're going to have to stop working! — David Graeber
A strange delusion possesses the working classes of the nations where capitalist civilization holds its sway. ...the love of work... Instead of opposing this mental aberration, the priests, the economists, and the moralists have cast a sacred halo over work. — Paul Lafargue
In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic. — Karl Marx
In the glorification of 'work', in the unwearied talk of the 'blessing of work', I see the same covert idea as in the praise of useful impersonal actions: that of fear of everything individual. — Friedrich Nietzsche
If hard work were such a wonderful thing, surely the rich would have kept it all to themselves. — Lane Kirkland
The bottom line is simple: all of us deserve to make the most of our potential as we see fit, to be the masters of our own destinies. Being forced to sell these things away to survive is tragic and humiliating. We don’t have to live like this. ― CrimethInc
