Overview
Inspector Joe is used to solve minor cases when he gets called to hunt down two thieving pigs that are constantly breaking the law: Pick and Pocket.In several short stories, we see them shoplifting, snaffling fruit and veg, purloining a van, running from the police, stealing doughnuts, cheating and so on. They also inherit a castle, sell it, become rich, squander their wealth, start a life of begging and then return to their thieving ways. Nothing seems to stop their mischiefs! But even though Pick and Pocket are very crafty pigs, lnspector Joe is always one step ahead of them.Pick and Pocket series can be enjoyed both by young and adult readers. The 27 stories are full of humour and unique pictorial details from the illustrator Damijan Stepančič.About Pick and Pocket seriesPick and Pocket is a comic series about the adventures of Pick and Pocket and lnspector Joe, who solves a number of minor cases and then focuses on hunting down two thieving pigs, who go by the name Pick and Pocket and are constantly breaking the law: shoplifting, snaffling fruit and veg, stowing away on a lorry, purloining a van, running from the police, stealing doughnuts, cheating and so on. They also inherit a castle, sell it, become rich, squander their wealth, start a life of begging and then return to their thieving ways. Although Pick and Pocket are very crafty pigs, lnspector Joe is always one step ahead of them.Oh, you might wonder how to distinguish Pick and Pocket? One has red trousers with yellow spots, the other red trousers with yellow stripes. But which is which? That we will never really be sure of because they often swap trousers. So sometimes Pick has spotty trousers and sometimes stripey. And Pocket stripey trousers and sometimes spotty ones. Funny piggy thieves!
