Oink! was the title of a Britishcomic for children which was published from 3 May1986-22 October1988. It set out to be deliberately anarchic, a sort of version of Viz for children, being "run" by a character called Uncle Pigg (similar to 2000 AD's Tharg the Mighty). It proved somewhat controversial, with various conservative groups branding it offensive and unsuitable for children and succeeding in having it pulled from newsagents' shelves on several occasions. It was finally wound up after 68 issues, merging with Buster, after being sold to the newspaper tycoon Robert Maxwell.
