A heard of cows?
ReplyDeleteIn the next panel, does Chico say to Groucho: "Yeah, I heard a cows. Have you heard a cows?"
Wait, I had the barnyard pull and speak as I child and clearly it really needed the woman screaming to be complete.
ReplyDeleteThe woman screaming is the school marm. She is screaming because the author mispelled "herd."
ReplyDeleteThe cows are disturbing, I think mostly because of their Wrightson-ish coloring. They look infected M'nagalah.
ReplyDeleteKeee kawwww?
ReplyDeleteWould some please explain when this was ever "herd" in a barnyard?
Best triptych ever, really.
ReplyDelete"look at that bunch of cows"
ReplyDelete"not 'bunch', 'herd'"
"heard of what?"
"heard of cows!"
"of course, I've heard of cows."
"no no no you idiot, a cow herd."
"what do I care what a cow heard? I got no secrets from a cow"
Isn't "moo" the sort of thing usually muttered under the breath, as it were? That cow looks more like she's screaming "HOLY CRAP, YOUR HANDS ARE COLD!"
