“Behold, he is the Pig of Truth! Revere his proud proboscis”

We are all born sinners, but only the most intelligently debauched of us are smart enough to know. For those still ignorant of their wicked ways, rejoice! There is help: The Pig of Truth and his simian sidekicks, the Court of the Three Wise Apes. Together they are the judge, jury and executioners of the seven deadliest sins.

In What’s Your Sin? creator Marko Waschke perverts the already-very-dirty morality tale, where the consequence of wickedness is told in gleeful verse. The Pig of Truth and the Three Wise Apes will show you the error of your ways, provided you’re subjected to some ritualistic humiliation first.

Who do you most resemble? Maybe the Apathist (a reimagined Sloth), whose empty-headed indifference provides the cavity for the Apes to roast? Or perhaps egotistical Gluttony, whose all-consuming desire for more must include copious amounts of crap?

What’s Your Sin? is a spellbinding work of live-action-graphic novel featuring a cast of sinners in all their vainglory. Waschke, an acclaimed production designer and the mind behind the deadly plants in the award-winning film Little Joe, along with co-writers Alison Chadwick and Tony Charalambous and Director of Photography Julian Langham, have created a unique concoction, with visually arresting panels and wicked rhymes that demand to be read aloud. WYS? is seven morality tales so darkly crafted they would unnerve the Brothers Grimm!

A work of art to entertain and disturb in equal measure, What’s Your Sin? is an ideal addition to any coffee table. Or perhaps, bathroom? Wherever you catch those quiet moments of contemplative perversion. But don’t forget to light a match, or the Pig of Truth might just snuffle you out.
