"Cow Tools" is a cartoon from Gary Larson's The Far Side, published in October 1982. It depicts a cow standing in front of 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". It has been described as "arguably the most loathed Far Side strip ever" while also becoming a popular Internet meme.

  • Is cartún é Cow Tools as The Far Side le Gary Larson, a foilsíodh i mí Dheireadh Fómhair 1982. Léiríonn sé bó ina seasamh os comhair boird ar a bhfuil uirlisí anchumtha aisteacha, leis an bhfotheideal “Cow tools” (Uirlisí bó). Chuir an cartún mearbhall ar go leor léitheoirí, a scríobh nó a chuir glaoch ar Larson agus iad ag lorg míniú ar an jóc. Mar fhreagra ar an gconspóid, chuir Larson preasráiteas amach ag rá gurb é an bhrí a bhí leis an gcartún ná, dá ndéanfadh bó uirlisí, go mbeidís “lack[ing] something in sophistication”. Meastar gur tharraing sé níos mó fuatha ná aon chartún Far Side eile. Tá sé ina mhéim Idirlín forleathan anois. (ga)
