Nice drawings! Cows are usually freindly creatures. I ruined beef for my poor husband by introducing him to a herd of cows - they all ran over to be petted and kept trying to lick him like a dog! He's not quite a vegetarian - he still eats chicken because he says they're "too stupid to pity," but he has had a few favorites in my small flock who get the pet treatment. 😊
There's a local farmer around here who is teaching some of her Scottish Highland cows how to be steeds ( and yes, the ones who are good at it escape the fate of becoming hamburgers!).
Once when we were on vacation in Switzerland, we ATTEMPTED to have a picnic in a spot very like the one where Julie Andrews whirled around at the start of the Sound of Music. But mean cows chased us off our blanket! And that's why I continue to eat hamburgers. Am I being vindictive?
Just delightful, Peter!
Now, if only you were a cartoon editor at the New Yorker...
Man, if I only had a dollar for every time someone's said THAT to me...

Are you sure they were all cows? Bulls can be pretty mean.
Naw, you're not vindictive, just human. We humans are natural omnivores. I'm happen to be a weirdo who won't eat meat.
I couldn’t tell cow from bull. They were all speaking German.
You surely know than there are unicorn vegetables, fruits, and grains, not just proteins, right?
Now I do! Thx Wayne!
Wow! This was a laugh out loud read. And your drawings are terrific!
Thx so much Ann. Especially fun to draw my first unicorn. It won’t be my last!
