Nice little piece on Robert Crumb on Ukulele Boudoir. Perhaps someone will explain the gag to me. I do not pigez le truc. But I do get super chanson! Link
Odd. In the original English for this panel, the pig is just continuing the lyric from the song "I'll set you wise, he's a bird in disguise - a bird named Piccolo Pete."
The translator has presumably translated that into French while leaving the first part of the lyrics (as sung by Crumb) in English.

I suspect that there's a tortured pun on "pigez" in there somewhere.
I do not pigé le truc too while I'm French !!! ;-)
