do cows have horns? is that woman milking a bull??
mandyandlane (54 months ago | reply)
Yes, cows have horns, too. Often they are cut off so they don't injure each other.

There is something missing from this illustration, if you think about it.

will she die by electrocution or getting kicked in the head by that cow?
Karotte (54 months ago | reply)
There is no way to avoid this.

they both died moments after they discovered how to levitate using electricity...
surprisingly, the method does not even involve the mystery death box!
Jenguin (54 months ago | reply)
oh man.. this is just too funny.
rolypolyrolypolyrolypolyrolypoly (54 months ago | reply)
Note that the cow is levitating, which helps achieve the electrical ground through the milker.

Why would there be a lamp in the cow's stall? And why would you need a light in order to milk? And why would you milk a cow from behind? And why would you use a four footed stool for milking instead of the proper three footed ones?

Okay now they're just making shit up.

Someone kicked the bucket.
What's the problem here? How else do you think we get cottage cheese and cheese curds?

really, this is the best set ever
Rudolf Tiberius Schultz MacMillan III (54 months ago | reply)
Sure its the cow with the crumpled horn from the electrified death house that Jack built.
~wishiwasanotter~ (54 months ago | reply)
...ummm, is that cow smiling, or is it just me?? ...why oh why did I come back to this set . I'm crying here!!!
bcgrote (54 months ago | reply)
Bossy has the same look as the boy in the previous pic! Enjoying the power a bit too much!
mhmcfee (54 months ago | reply)
According to the Kama Shockra, this is one of the harder positions to achieve due to the comical chain of events which need to transpire to make it work. But note the cow's enjoyment. It's worth it!
tsancio (54 months ago | reply)
Those 220 volts were enough to make the cow jump over the moon...
teddlesruss (54 months ago | reply)
..and remember never to cry over it... Holy cow...
@mhmcfee: Didn't you mean "cowmical?"
To all you other picky people: Have you ever thought it could just be a horny cow?
halljonathan (54 months ago | reply)
evilnick caption, FTW.
jasonsargo (54 months ago | reply)
And the cow was all, "Oh, biotch, you's gonna do WHAT with that crystal radio?!?!"
manimfuckedup (54 months ago | reply)
well, at least you know what theyre going to be serving at the funeral.
Kymm (54 months ago | reply)
This is, without question, the perfect storm of electrocution.
Pissing off a bridge, touching a lamp, using a crystal death box, all while constantly being barefoot, okay I see how those are important things to know to avoid, but "be careful that the cow doesn't wrap her tail around the lamp while you are milking her and everyone is falling down," now that's one really specific illustration.

darwin award for that one

How else are you supposed to milk a cow? sheesh!

This series is the greatest thing ever. And not just on the internet. Everything about this book is sublime: the fact that they felt compelled to make this book, the drawings, the expressions on faces, their choices of methods, ...
Ray2Jerry (54 months ago | reply)
First I think what the odds would be for something like this to happen. I mean for all those things to be happening at once to create this situation seems impossible.
But they found it important enough to draw in a book, so the odds are actually pretty good that it happened AT LEAST once in history. And when they invent a time machine, that's where you'll find me :)
Of course they could also be some "Wouldn't it be totally hilarious if..." situations someone fantasized about.
chupocabara (53 months ago | reply)
Well that's what you get for milking a cow 24/7.
goopuddle (53 months ago | reply)
And of course the added grounding from the spilled milk will create another path. ... unless the maid is kicked to safety by the cow.
Howard Dickins (52 months ago | reply)
I can hardly count the number of times this has happened to me. Just yesterday my hair looked as though I'd been tasered - or attacked by an african witch-doctor.
