A man with long hair and a mustache stands proudly next to a fancy carriage with large purple windows. Instead of horses, the carriage is harnessed to a single cow, which says "Moo." Caption: "After decades of development, Dr. Bradford finally reveals the world's first horseless carriage." The joke: it's still animal-powered, just by a cow instead of a horse. Votey: a close-up of the grinning inventor declaring, "The cow runs on thorium!" — doubling down on the absurd pseudo-science.
