Origin Species, CH Bennett, Fat man - pig

Piggish'. Satire on Darwin's Origin of Species showing the evolution of a man who eats too much, from a pig. This old glutton, fond of good eating is a natural descendant of the pig, with its pointed ears and elongated snout, but be aware, all is overshadowed by the plate and knife and fork which change into a skull and crossbones that glare down on our piggish friend. A warning to self-indulgent sinners
