    A cow heard? What do I care what a cow heard, I haven’t said anything to be ashamed of?

    Not only fear makes a herd. Just go to any major store the day after Thanksgiving. Although, I guess even there, it might be fear of missing out that prompts the behavior. Certainly the worst behavior.

    As for the cattle, you want to try and pick out the grass amidst the cowpies? Spreading out is a good thing!

    sorry Karma but the only purpose of a herd is to protect the species from predators (fear exists therefore cows herd).

    I also think that the black cows should have white collars (its the yin yang thing).

    That’s why you don’t get on the wrong side of Karma

    Was this before or after she was struck by the meteor?

    But I realize now that Justin was really commenting on why it takes fear to unify those who differ in some way. Not only fear but grief and anger can unite, at least for a while.

    Ahhh, but Karma: why must there be a herd? (“First you must realize that there is no spoon.”) I double-dog dare you to try that with cats … No, really, I am daring Karma.

    Aside from that, cooperative effort and general social cohesion can be accomplished, often better, without herd mentality.
     
    And, dear, I’d like to see that look out of you again come Halloween. Dang! Girl, those hands! … and is that, uh, are those … tentacles??! Shades of Predator and Cthulu!

    A herd is a good thing for cattle, sheep, horses, etc. in the wild, but as a metaphor for human society, it is so wrong in so many ways.

    pschearer, are y’all sayin’ yer against “tyranny of the majority?” Yer startin’ to sound like one o’ them dad-blamed liberalists, there.

    My first thought in panel 4 was methane explosion, but then the cows would have been brown.
