Line 1: {{work}} Quick - what do you get when you cross a high-fantasy pub with a slapstick sense of humor and Saturday-morning-cartoon visuals? You get a damn good time, which is one of the better descriptions of Craig Munro's "''[[The Pig's Ear"]]'' you could come up with. ''The Pig's Ear'' is a webcomic about the hectic life and times of the staff and regulars at the titular pub. The main cast consists of Barkeep, a man of self-descriptive title, Gwen, the recently-hired barmaid, Angus, the dwarfish ex-adventurer chef, and Cyril, an alcoholic wizard who is the regular of regulars at the Ear. Other characters come and go as the joke requires; one of the main recurring side characters is an unnamed fellow of ill-defined but furry species who seems to have struck up some kind of rivalry with Cyril. Craig rose to internet fame running the circuits of [[Deviant ART]]'s "Original Character Battle Tournaments". He started out slinging Cyril around like the hilariously destructive mass of [[Genre Savvy]] he is; later, he added a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] robot named Murphy to his repertoire (Murphy is unrelated to [[''The ~~Pigs~~Pig's Ear]]'', though-time will tell what Craig plans do with him). The Pig's Ear went live in March of 2009, after which Craig has tried to maintain a once-weekly update schedule, posting a new comic every Thursday if all goes well. The comic can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20131126070352/http://www.pigsearonline.com/ here]. ~~----~~ ~~'''This comic provides examples of:'''~~ {{tropelist}} * [[All Men Are Perverts]]: Cyril describes his crystal ball in grandiose fashion as an almighty tool of the arcane...then cops to using it to look at naked ladies. * [[Badass Normal]]: Angus, despite having been retired as an adventurer for years, manages to put the kibosh on an invading force of otherworldly monsters with nothing but a potato peeler (that has dwarven runes). Line 16 ⟶ 15: * [[Hourglass Hottie]]: Gwen. Very Gwen. * [[Male Gaze]]: Cyril agrees to give Gwen a probationary period before he decides if he likes having her around for two very specific reasons. * [[One of Us]]: Craig. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130203111056/http://www.pigsearonline.com/2010/08/11/butt-monkey/ This strip] is titled [[Butt Monkey]], and advises the uneducated reader to this very wiki should they seek the answer to their question. * [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same]]: Aside from being a chef, Angus fits the mold to a T; he even speaks with a Scottish [[Funetik Aksent]], a trait none of the other characters exhibit (and bear in mind that ''Craig himself'' is Scottish). * [[Only Six Faces\|Only]] <s>Six Faces</s> [[Only Six Faces\|One Expression]]: Cyril's nose is his only visible facial feature; thus, body language and what he's actually saying are the only indicators of his mood. Lampshaded twice; once with "The Many Expressions of Cyril T. Wizard", and once when Cyril is describing his reaction to the sudden appearance of a naked, drunken Gwen.
