    <subtitle>Comics: almost from the beginning, comics have been used for political or social commentary.
Legend: a narrative of human actions that are perceived both by teller and listeners to take place within human history and to possess certain qualities that give the tale the appearance of being true or real. Lore: That which is or may be learned or known; the knowledge gained from tradition, books, or experience; often, the whole body of knowledge possessed by a people or class of people.</subtitle>

&lt;div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 1.2em;"&gt;Their name comes from their size: At birth, the piglets weigh about 9 oz. and are the size of a teacup. At full growth at the age of 2, they top out at 12 to 16 inches — about knee-high — and weigh a modest 65 pounds. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 1.2em;"&gt;“It’s about the size of a small spaniel,” said Jane Croft the 42-year-old breeder who has become something of a sensation in her native England - thanks to her unique product line: cute-as-a-button miniature pigs that never grow up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Time-Less-Image_Print-8x10-inches_W0QQ_fsubZ776146QQ_sidZ31763380QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em14?_pgn=1?refid=store"&gt;&lt;img  450="" alt="Architectural Blunder" src="http://time-less-image.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451906869e20120a5cd0d04970c-800wi" title="Architectural Blunder" width="493" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 1.2em;"&gt;“They make fantastic pets. They’re really clean. They’re highly intelligent and just love to be loved. They give so much back to you.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 1.2em;"&gt;They’re called “teacup pigs.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 1.2em;"&gt;“People love pigs so much, but it’s almost impossible to keep a full-grown pig in the house,” Croft explained. “Now that we’ve gotten them down to this size, they’ve become extremely popular.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 1.2em;"&gt;Waldo County, situated in mid-coast Maine along scenic Penobscot Bay, has genuine New England character evidenced by working port towns and quaint rural villages. Visitors are awed by the area's unspoiled beauty. From striking coastal views to sweeping mountain vistas, dramatic natural settings abound. In addition great care has been taken to preserve and refurbish numerous historic landmarks, homes and buildings. Consequently, the Maine of yesteryear is still found here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Blogs are ranked in various ways, and one of the more significant ones (besides linking or subscribing) happens via Technorati. In brief, Technorati tracks millions of blogs and lets users search them, tag them, and rank them. If you own a blog, or if you read them, I recommend signing up with Technorati (it's free and takes a couple minutes). And if you enjoy this blog, I encourage you, please, to "favorite" it. &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;add=http://www.time-less-image-blog.com"&gt;&lt;img  alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
