Description
it goes something like"He who holds the golden pig
Has in his hands
A golden pig"
but when a woman holds one, WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN??
Similar question for when a robot is involved.
Cathy McPigtaker was eating breakfast one morning when she had a crazy idea: Steal the golden pig, and have gold eggs and ham. She knew somebody who had the goose that lays the golden eggs, so she was already halfway there. All that remained was to find out if there was such a thing as a golden pig, and then to take it!
Now she is a criminal, and she is being chased by a flying motorcycle cop as well as her mailman who is trying his best to deliver her letters but she doesn't want it because she's fairly certain it's just junk mail (it is).
How will all this turn out? We will never know*
I tried returning to dynamic poses and lots of action, and it was fun. Except I got carried away with perspective, and now Cathy has tiny feet and the mailman has huge hands. Guys, learn from my mistake!
Made in Flash
*Cathy discovers she cannot eat gold.

The mailman really just makes the whole picture come together. I love your small stories here!

One of those stories that best kept being unfinished. Just to let the audience stay with their imagination on how it ends.

Of Course nobody without dedication becomes mailman. He does everything humanly possible to deliver the mail. In time!

Everything from the ambience to the dynamic poses and the awesome description is just fantastic.

He who holds
The swine of gold!

Neither snow nor rain nor pig of gold stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds! That is the most intense mailman in the history of mailmen! Very nice job!

golden pig ftw 
I am in awe at what you can do in flash jknfkjnjngfasdn (and I can barely make an apple -circle lol haha- roll away spinning..)
I love your works !
and I must ask ; out of curiosity; how much time does it take to make a picture like this? and how maaaany layers? 
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't remember how long this one took, to be honest. Typically it's something like 2-4 days?
When I make my stuff in Flash it's only about 5 layers: Effects, Lines, Main color, Background, Way Back Background

Well, at least she tried .
Btw at the end did the mailman delivered the letters?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, though embarrassingly it turned out to be to the wrong address

This is hilarious, if the picture wasn't enough. The 'explanation' is humorous on its own! From what I've seen this seems to be a trend with your art.

Their both part of one cohesive (and often insane) whole.

Due to the similarity of the color of the shadow and the grass around it, the part nearest to the mailman's foot, it looks as though he is hovering. A hovering mailman. Yeah.

This idea...is win. No other words can describe it.

There is so much going on with this picture so I guess I'll comment on the porcine. It's very cute but Cathy doesn't look like she's holding it correctly.

oh well, that explains it

Brillinat. Now...*flips through your other stuff*

So if she CAN'T eat the pig, what will she do with it?
π: 0 β©: 1
She has a list of things to try:
- Drinking
- Smelling
- Tasting
- Watching
and it goes on

Cathy must be like redulously strong! Gold is super heavy!

The best part always comes when you throw in something even more unprecedented than EVERYTHING ELSE in the story, that being this time the very determined mailman. Truly, if more service professionals were that dedicated, we would have far fewer problems in our society.
You also have to love the coincidence of her name already having been McPigtaker before she decided to steal the pig. OR PERHAPS THAT IS HOW SHE GOT THE IDEA.
The only question remaining is, did she have to kill the golden pig before she discovered that she cannot eat gold? Because then truly, this story will have a sad end.

She was able to take a bite without killing the golden pig.
And her name is purely coincidence; in her mother tongue, McPigtaker means roughly "Chased By Motorcycle."

I'm assuming the pig was still alive then. She must have realized that golden pigs don't need to be cooked since they are made of gold instead of flesh.
So clearly she is STILL a Person of Destiny, since she is now, thanks to her own uncontrollable desire to eat golden eggs and ham, being chased by a flying motorcycle.

I'm rooting for you, Cathy McPigtaker ;A; taking that pig was your DESTINY.
