The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

U got a lectric now?

Workin thru @willhermes.bsky.social excellent Lou Reed bio and checkin out late period Velvets/Lou live and it really underscores how, even more than Cale's heavenly noise, Mo Tucker's drumming was *the* irreplaceably unique ingredient that made the first 3 VU albums so special
