Day 297: Got salt?

10/27/2014

Today I am switching gears and bringing you a purely benevolent mythical beast from Norse mythology.  Auðumbla, known as "the primeval cow," is an important but obscure monster:  Her milk sustained and fed the elemental giant Ymir, from whom the Earth and Midgard were formed, and she also created Búri, the progenitor of Borr and Odin, by licking a salty ice-block.

Day 151: Udderly silly slang

4/24/2014

I'm not sure exactly why, but lately I keep hearing anime referred to as "animu."  I've heard it used as a joke, I've heard it used as a cutesy form of endearment for the art style, and I've heard it used in a derogatory manner to bash the genre and its fans.  Maybe this is a well-known thing, and I am simply late in noticing it, but the term just sounds weird, and grates on my ears when I hear it.  I can't help but picture anthropomorphic cows with all the anime tropes: big eyes, floating sparkles, glasses, braided hair, pop-up bangs, hovering emotion symbols, making cat noises to sound cute...  so, that's exactly what I drew here - my interpretation of what my brain thinks whenever I hear "animu."
Animoooo!
Seriously, though, stop using this term.

Day 45: A way to start the day...

We were looking at a website that had a number of either/or challenges such as "Art History or Children's Drawings?" and "Bjork or Bobcat Goldthwait?"  The Bobcat/Bjork ones were really hard. 
Ancient cave art drawing of a bull, or a 3yr-old's drawing of a dog? The correct answer is
"That... looks so bad, I can't believe I wasn't in it." - Bobcat

Day 40: Cow-abunga

We were watching something, I forget what, and a character loudly exclaimed "Oh my cow!"  I found it amusing enough to do a doodle about.

True fact: when I was in 6th grade, I drew a Dilbert-inspired comic called "Cowbert." My cow-drawing skills have not improved since then.
