Hey, nieghbor Bob, who's that with you?" "Hey pig, this is Phil." "Phil?" "Yeah, he's my half brother." "... No need to shake hands. He wont remember you/"
Pig is clearly American, or at least a Third Generation American. We know that he’s had family that died in the Vietnam War* and he also speaks English. It’s definitely America, or some sort of satirical, fictional, version to suit the strips needs.
That’s of course, downplaying the fact that Rat, his roommate/friend was the president.
The British Large White pig is our example here. They’re cylindrical, suited for the out doors, and originate from Britain. Pig COULD be an immigrant descendant. Their median weight is 450 pounds, at least 300 and at most 700. Their are also slaughtered for bacon, something that we know makes Pig a cannibal.**
These pigs are about 900 centimeters to 1.8 meters long. We are using length because pig is anthropomorphic and a biped. That makes him 35 to 71 inches. A median of 1.35 meters, or 36 inches.
Lets max him out here. He would be 6 FEET LONG.
THAT MAKES NEIGHBOR BOB 10 FOOT.
