Sources for Whistle Pig?[edit]
Do you know of any media which has written about Whistle Pig? Wikipedia current rules are quite draconian and unforgiving. Even though everyone know the book exists, editors much jump through a nasty hoop called "notability", otherwise their contributions are deleted. It is stupid, but that is the way things work on the "dark side" of web 2.0 (as one journalist called it)
Below is the text of the soon to be deleted page, when you find verifiable sources, you can ask me to help you add these references, and ask for a deletion review.
I also emailed your Authorhouse to contact the authors themselves, as they would know what media has covered this book.

'''''Whistle Pig''''' is a [[Children's literature|children's book]] published in February 2009 by [[Authorhouse]] and [[Modern Short Stories]]<ref>http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=789622 [Absolutepunk.net - Whistle Pig Release Date]</ref>. It is the first book written by friends [[Chris Fafalios]] (bassist in the [[pop-punk]] band [[Punchline (band)|Punchline]]) and [[Tony Hartman]], and features additional illustrations by [[Justin Will]]. The book is a compilation of [[Short story|short stories]], [[poetry]], and [[illustration|artwork]]. Fafalios and Hartman previously collaborated on a [[YouTube]] cartoon series called [[Texas Toast (cartoon)|Texas Toast]]<ref>http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=cmxpunch&view=videos&query=Texas+Toast - YouTube.com - cmxpunch "Texas Toast"]</ref>, which shares with Whistle Pig a zany sense of humor and energy, coupled with unique artwork. Whistle Pig poems are written in the style of children's poems, but are intended for a mature audience. According to the official description of the book: <blockquote>Whistle Pig is a children's book for people who used to be children. Within these pages you'll find a treasury of thought-provoking and hilarious poetry, illustrations, and (masculine) fairy tales written by Tony Hartman and Chris Fafalios. These two (straight) buddies have figured out the formula for comedic cartoon poetry while spending Saturday afternoons drawing, writing, and laughing. The result is a magical journey through the whistle pig ranch of the mind. Enjoy this lesson in cartoon poetry science. Oh, and there's probably some fables in here as well.<ref>http://www.authorhouse.com/BookStore/ItemDetail~bookid~55327.aspx [Authorhouse.com - Whistle Pig]</ref></blockquote>
