Couple of Walk Cycles

I really like your pig character.
I've never tried to do a walk without knee joints. It's a very interesting idea.
I think I've seen this done with two approaches; a squishy walk bobbing from foot to foot and using lots of stretch and squash or a walk with stylized stiffness. It looks like you're going for the latter so maybe this clip from Dexter's Laboratory would be a useful reference: ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2--Bn5G9kuw the walk animation starts at about 54 seconds) It doesn't look like his torso is moving up and down at all. Just his legs quickly cycling. Actually it looks like he may have knees after all... it's hard to see because it's all the same color.
