CHEEKY PIG…..and friends! (Site under development)
Children’s stories…
Welcome to Cheeky Pig, his friends, family and some odd acquaintances. This is a labour of love which I began over 30 years ago!
Cheeky Pig is a character I originally created to keep my children entertained with stories of his adventures whilst we were on our holidays.
The children would get so excited asking questions about what happened next. So, each vacation I would add more plots and other characters to expand the situations he got himself in to.
Frankly, I never expected requests to continue on the story after the first time I told it, it was some twelve months later! As the years progressed, with more requests, this then became a problem remembering them year-after-year. They were either inside my head or scribbled down on sheets of paper.
Finally, under increasing pressure from family, and grandkids now, I am finding the time to publish and share them publicly! So although I’ve been digging through my archives I will be putting more stories on as I go. The accompanying pictures I developed later as “child story demands” continued, they are all original and my own work so please bear that in mind if you are a professional deciding to critique my work!
Forget any other cartoon pigs you may have seen, Cheeky Pig couldn’t be more different, he is just like his name suggests, apt to open his mouth at the wrong time and/or typically land himself in some sort of trouble! He does however have an uncanny knack of getting back on his feet and quite often, but not always, finish up smelling of roses!
I’ve split the site into broad categories; for example Summer holidays and Winter-time but I will keep this under review.
Thanks for dropping by, I do hope you enjoy the stories.

And, on an educational note, pig facts to think about…
Pigs are really intelligent. They are curious and insightful animals who are widely accepted as being smarter than young children of at least 3 years of age, dogs, and even some primates. Every day’s a school day, as they say!
