Mercy est la petite truie des Watson, qui lui vouent une véritable admiration et la traitent comme leur enfant. Une situation que déplore leur vieille et grincheuse voisine, Eugénia Lincoln, qui saisit la moindre occasion pour leur rappeler que les cochons n'ont pas leur place dans une maison. Toutefois, Mercy trouve une fidèle alliée en la soeur de cette dernière, Soeurette Lincoln, qui lui a fait découvrir la saveur des biscuits au sucre. D'ailleurs, la petite truie est extrêmement gourmande et cause de véritables branle-bas de combat lorsqu'elle décide de satisfaire sa faim, et ce, toujours au moment le plus incongru ... Chaque titre de la série relate ainsi une aventure loufoque de Mercy et de ses propriétaires, dont l'humour est essentiellement axé sur les relations de voisinage entre les Watson et les Lincoln, de même que sur les situations abracadabrantes dans lesquelles ne manque pas de se mettre Mercy. -- Des peintures au trait dynamique, campant les personnages typés et légèrement caricaturaux dans des décors finement travaillés, illustrent, dans une esthétique évoquant le cinéma d'animation, le texte rédigé dans une large typographie. Une première lecture amusante entre aventure, humour et tendresse. [SDM].
