You know those illustrated story books for children?

The ones with cute anthropomorphized animals going about their jobs in a fairytale animal society, posting letters and walking kids across the street and fixing cars in the garage?

If you can't accurately depict yourself doing your job as a drawing in one of those books, it's not a real job.

(I'm also a programmer, by the way.....)

I was reading one of those books to my kid once and there was a pig butcher. I'm not sure how that's supposed to work in the lore of the book. Was he some halliburlector type or was he actually just a butcher. How deep does the analogue go?
