>The "cow tools" cartoon
>"Cow tools" is a cartoon from The Far Side by American cartoonist Gary Larson, published on October 28, 1982. It depicts a cow standing behind a table of bizarre, misshapen implements with the caption "Cow tools". The cartoon confused many readers, who wrote or phoned in seeking an explanation of the joke. In response to the controversy, Larson issued a press release clarifying that the thrust of the cartoon was simply that, if a cow were to make tools, they would "lack something in sophistication".[1] It has been described as "arguably the most loathed Far Side strip ever" while also becoming a popular internet meme.[2]

>"Cow tools" is a single-panel black and white cartoon depicting a cow standing on its hind legs at a table, with a barn in the background. On the table are four oddly shaped objects: one resembles a crude hand saw, while the others are more abstract. The caption beneath the cartoon simply reads "Cow tools".

>Larson took the unusual step of issuing a press release, explaining the joke:

>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.[1]

>Years later, in The Prehistory of the Far Side, Larson further explained that he was inspired by the fact that some non-human primates and birds also used tools; he imagined that if cows were also discovered to be a tool-using species, their creations would be fairly crude.[4]

I made Megaman menus, the weapon/armor/e-tanks selection screen that appear when you press pause. Made waaay to many Bomb screenclearers and homings on those
