He was just another man with a drinking problem, only alcohol transformed him into a violent pork-beast named Piggly Swiggly, and since he's always drunk, his human side hasn't seen the light of day in years. After yet another rampaging bender, Piggly wakes up in a jungle metropolis full of floating crocodiles, greasy bacon addicts, and worse: prohibition. Trapped in this strange teetotaled town, he must keep his buzz going or else revert to his weak and vulnerable human form. But even then, Piggly Swiggly's depravity may prove to be his own undoing.
