   In Robert Heinlein’s ‘Stranger in a Strange Land’, a visiting alien observes that all humour is based on misfortune.
   The maddening thing is …he was right!

   It’s only funny until someone gets hurt, then it’s hilarious.

   Sort of like the old Bill Crosby game called “Buck,Buck”

   As usual, RJ has a point…
   I do feel sorry for Verne, though…all these cows appear to be falling back to Earth in the same place – where Verne was standing…

   I think you’ve mixed up Bill Cosby and Bing Crosby . . . hey, wait a minute – both family men, both humorous yet clean (in the sense of non-vulgar), never seen together – Maybe they’re the SAME PERSON?

   Naw, it was Bill. I still have the cassette. (Not that I have anything to play it on.)

    Uh oh… does that mean there’s going to be a Fat Albert type cow?

    It’s a good thing Verne’s protected by that hard candy shell! Can you spell Schadenfreude? Jump, cows! Jump!

    If RJ and Hammy were to move Verne, would the cows change trajectory?

    been funnier if the last panel had a shadow of the cow above RJ and Sammy.

    Several people have opined, hopefully tongue in cheek, that all humor is based on cruelty. I can think of many exceptions myself, so I prefer less absolute observations.
    Sadly, Zippy the Pinhead beat OTH to this punchline. But his delivery didn’t involve cows, so…
