Cătălin Mihuleac is widely known in Romania as a journalist, author of different articles and lampoons published in various periodicals from Iaşi and from all over the country. In Our Country the Pig and the Fir Tree Are Brothers is a sketch in which black humour and satire combine wonderfully in a unique way, characteristic to Cătălin Mihuleac. Mihuleac’s satire is not bitter and vexing, like that of Swift, thus his black humour is mild and waggish. If the main purpose of most satires is to invite the reader to laugh at a particular human vice or folly, in order to provoke us to consider an important moral alternative, Cătălin Mihuleac manages to change this trend. His black humour is mild, witty, surprising and delightful. Paradoxically, there is nothing bitter and noxious in his black humour. The essence of his satire does not reside in the complexity of the moral message coming across but in the skilful style the writer chooses. The present paper aims at being a stylistic approach to Mihuleac’s In Our Country the Pig and the Fir Tree Are Brothers. It is meant to prove that, besides being a great satirist, Cătălin Mihuleac’s idiostyle makes him a pioneer of black humour in Romania
