Pig first appeared in "Low-Lands" in 1960, then featured in V. The rest is
history, including Fender-Belly Bodine in M&D. .
In the audiobook of M&D, Jonathan Reese reads it as "Bo-dyne." Might he
have had pronunciation notes via Holt, Melanie Jackson, and an
authoritative source? But then again, wouldn't P himself bow to the example
of Jethro Bodine ("Bo-deen") on The Beverly Hillbillies (1962)?
FWIW, http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bodine/
Hoping to inaugurate a historic schism among the faithful, I remain y'r
obd't s'v't,
Montay (as I hear increasingly often these Latino-inflected days)
