Image: Pig in the farm yard pondering how much time he has before ending up on the farmer’s dinner table.
In the distant background two shell boats are at the opposite end of the Time Spectrum from the Pondering Pig. The pig is wishing he had longer time in his farm yard pursuits. The shell boat racers are wanting less time in their pursuits. Wishing for Time / Racing against Time - The contradiction of Life.
The irony is that the pig’s farmer is a vegetarian and the shell racers, with their backs turned, don’t see they are about to go over a waterfall.
Side-note: The pocket watch, given its human face, is an example of anthropomorphic image in advertising.
