  Miss Piggy - Muppet Wiki - A Wikia wiki
Miss Piggy is one of the central characters on The Muppet Show, a force of nature who developed from a one-joke running gag into a complex, three-dimensional character.
From modest beginnings (which she is quick to gloss over), Miss Piggy first broke into show business by winning the Miss Bogen County beauty contest, a victory which also marked her first meeting with frog of her life, Kermit.
In episode 116, Miss Piggy threatened Scooter into making Kermit jealous by having him tell Kermit that she and Avery Schreiber were madly in love with each other.

Piggy banks have always been fun, but many parents are now taking them much more seriously as they teach their children the rewards of saving money.

 Piggy bank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.umd.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
A piggy bank is known among collectors as a still bank as opposed to the mechanical banks popular in the early 20th century.
Piggy banks are used to reinforce ideas of savings and spending to children; money can be easily inserted, but the pig must be broken open for it to be retrieved, forcing the child to justify his or her decision.
Although the piggy bank has generally been regarded as a craft object rather than fine art, recently some artists working in ceramics have produced elaborate piggybanks intended to be appreciated solely as modern art, which have appeared in prestigious galleries.

 WashingtonPost.com: Trying to Save Piggy Sneed
The Stratham Volunteers were used to thinking of Piggy Sneed's place as a necessary, reeking ruin on the road between Exeter and the beach-a foulsmelling landmark on warm summer evenings; passing it always engendered the obligatory groans.
It was too exciting to imagine the damage done by that sound: the panic among the pigs, Piggy himself in a panic, all of them hipping up to each other with their wheezy squeals, seeking the protection of the herd.
Even so, I insisted to Grandmother that her kindness to Piggy Sneed had not been overlooked by me-and that this, in combination with the helplessness of Piggy Sneed's special human condition, and the night of the fire, which had introduced me to the possible power of my own imagination.
