CARTOON COINCIDENCES

Hello - this is a bit random, but I believe I recently came across an old cartoon you made for a birthday card, and frankly, none of my friends or the broader internet can figure out the joke! I was wondering if you'd be willing to connect with me and explain it? You can email me at freddecatt@gmail.com

Hello Mr.Duffy!
I apologize for the awkward way in which I am contacting you, but there is a question that is burning at my soul.

What is the joke of this comic?

Me and several others could not decode the intention behind this comic. Is it related to how cows stomachs fill up with gas?
Thank you in advance. -BHM

Hey, sorry for the weird request--didn't really know how else to contact you. Someone out on the internet received a birthday card with an old (1986 possibly?) comic that has been attributed to you. Problem is, no one can agree on the interpretation of the comic. I know having to explain a joke kills the humor, but could you 1) verify that it is one of your comics, and 2) help settle an internet debate on what the comic means? It's titled "Something happened to the cows....." and here's a link to an image of the comic in question:

Thanks! I appreciate it!

There was no actual "joke" in this greeting card. It was just a bit of absurdity and whimsy.

So are the cows levitating or is that just shadow? Are they plugged into the ground? I have so many questions! But very appreciative of your reply - thank you!!

They're levitating. They're not plugged into the ground.
