cow tools daily

@cowtoolsdaily.bsky.social

always appreciated Dr. Moonhattan's arc

edited panel from the Watchmen comic. On a pink, barren mars, a blue cow stands behind a small rock formation with a table on it. The table contains 4 crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with a handle, a stick with two hooked prongs at the end, and a hand saw with irregular teeth. On the cows forehead is a symbol resembling the lump-with-handle, with a dot in the middle.

A blue text box reads, "I'm tired of this pasture. These farmers. I'm tired of being caught in the sophistication of their tools."

Happy Daniel Hannon Day to all who celebrate it. I hope you all enjoy the fireworks as we mark perhaps the worst piece of political forecasting going.

It's 24 June, 2025, and Britain is marking its annual Independence Day celebration. As the fireworks stream through the summer sky, still not quite dark, we wonder why it took us so long to leave. The years that followed the 2016 referendum didn't just reinvigorate our economy, our democracy and our liberty. They improved relations with our neighbours.

Bonus - we saw Saraiva’s work again by chance at the amazing bookstore at LX Factory! And when you name your boy Odysseus - pretty cool to see a reference to him drawn in the history of Lisbon. More comics murals!
