What Cows Think (illustration by Brett Hyland)

I have some very talented artist friends in an art group called “Night of the Radish”.  Every couple of months, we meet and share something we’ve created based on a common theme.  Last night’s theme was “cows”. Coincidently, I’d already written one essay about coming face-to-face with a cow and another about the Running of the Bulls, both  for themes unrelated to cows.  So, while I clearly have some unconscious affinity for bovine, I didn’t have another cow essay in me.  I can’t draw or paint or sculpt, so instead, I wrote a little cartoon and asked my daughter to illustrate it on the computer.  This is our collaborative comic.  Watch out, Gary Larson!
