The Three Wicked Pigs

Where did those piggies go wrong? Was Pa Hog responsible for their perversely erotic, physically brutal, overly acquisitive ways? Why did Pa flee Pigville at the moment of their birth? Who caused open warfare between ill-mannered ogres and trolls? How did this tragedy fixate The Wolf on the flesh of Pa's three troubled children? What do wealthy Piebald the Banker and his youthful assistant Freddy stand to gain? Will saintly Brother Convivius avert catastrophe by helping The Wolf conquer his inner demons? (Don't count on it.) And what of Ma Hog's attempts to defy Heaven by using angelic powers to influence earthly events before the whole situation gets out of hand? Warning: There are no easy answers!
