Pig’s favorite food is gluffles.  He adores gluffle toast, gluffle stew, gluffle bread and gluffle treats.  But the gluffles have lately become harder and harder to find.  When pig stumbles across the very last one, he has to decide whether to eat it or protect it, so there can be gluffles for another day.

When he is not doodling on donkeys or writing silly poems on bathroom walls, Tony Philips is trying to answer the pressing questions that confound experts the world over, like who left the toilet seat up? He grew up in a suburb in Pennsylvania near a turkey farm. Every so often, frantic turkeys, escaped from the farm, would show up in his back yard, and he and his siblings would try to hide them. Have you ever tried to usher a crazed turkey behind a bush? It’s not easy. He attended art classes at the Baum School of Art and got a degree in Creative Writing from Haverford College. He tried writing for television, but found nobody wanted to hear his stories about freaked out turkeys. Or about how an unhinged turkey once bit his younger brother on the toe. It’s true, really. Tony lives in Chicago with his wife and daughter. He is also an avid traveler. His favorite parts of the world are the ones with land.
