Charlotte: Now, all of you must have noticed what’s been going on around here the last few days. The message I wrote in my web, praising Wilbur, has been received. The Zuckerman’s have fallen for it, and so has everybody else. Zuckerman thinks Wilbur is an unusual pig, and therefore he won’t want to kill him and 
eat him. I dare say my trick will work and Wilbur’s life can be saved.
I need new ideas for the web. People are already getting sick of reading the words SOME PIG. If anybody can think of another message, or remark, I’ll be glad to weave it into the web. Any suggestions for a new slogan?
Lamb: How about PIG SUPREME?
Charlotte: No good. It sounds like a rich dessert.
Goose: How about TERRIFIC, TERRIFIC, TERRIFIC?
Charlotte: Cut that down to one TERRIFIC and it will do nicely. I think TERRIFIC might impress Zuckerman.
Wilbur: But Charlotte, I’m not terrific.
Charlotte: That doesn’t make a bit of difference. Not a bit. People believe almost anything they see in print.
Excerpts from Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White
Charlotte worked the entire night on her masterpiece…and in the morning,
entangled in what would have been her ordinary web, were the words,
“SOME PIG.”

cute illustration idea for rescue, nice work
Lovely and touching illustration set. I adored Charlotte’s web as a child and an adult. BTW your new banner ROCKS!
Brilliant idea for rescue! I’ve never seen Wilbur look sweeter! Very clever how you did the newspaper clipping, Miss Photoshop girl, hee hee.
Wonderfully creative idea Roberta – I love both versions! This was one of my all time favorite books, thanks for bringing back memories.
I have a digital illo quesion if you get a moment:

Thanks!
Love that pig!!! What a wonderful expression. You really have a way with light and shadows Roberta. This is terrific. Great banner too!

Hehe, cute! At first I thought it said “Terrified,” and I thought that was actually pretty hilarious (as though the animals are trying to escape).
This is cute! How did you do the straw? Love the pig’s expression and the newspaper component was a great addition.
oh what a wonderful piece and take on the theme Roberta!!!! I love this!!!
roberta, you are so awesome at doing pigs and mice! great new banner, too!
Hi Roberta! I love your idea for this week’s prompt. And my favorite character Templeton is even in there! So sweet!
