"The cartoon was intended to be an exercise in silliness. While I have never met a cow who could make tools, I felt sure that if I did, they (the tools) would lack something in sophistication and resemble the sorry specimens shown in this cartoon. I regret that my fondness for cows, combined with an overactive imagination, may have carried me beyond what is comprehensible to the average Far Side reader." - Larson

It certainly confused me 😅
tldr: it confused everybody
Are cow tools like gnu tools?
In some ways, yes, but actually no. While Connochaetes (gnus) are of the Bovidae family, they are clearly not cows.
no, gnus are highly sophisticated toolmakers, they inspired early humans to make our first tools.
Idk these pixels look like they're in the US House
