Cow

A black-and-white comic riffing on the 'interrupting cow' knock-knock joke. A cow knocks on a door; a woman answers, 'Who's there?' The cow says 'Interrupting cow,' she replies 'Interrupting cow, who?' Instead of the usual interrupting punchline, the cow delivers a long sad confession: it noticed, perhaps too late, that needing to come first in every conversation killed its marriage, and it's hoping for a second chance or knows it doesn't deserve one. The woman says, 'It's too late now, John. I'm sorry, I can't. I won't.' The cow stands silhouetted in the lit doorway and asks, 'Can I still see the children?' She begins, 'For now, I think it's better if...' and the cow interrupts her with a loud 'MOOOOOOO,' falling back into the very pattern that ended the marriage. Votey: a close-up of the cow looking weary and deadpan, saying, 'Orange you glad I'm hiding my true feelings in a veil of humor?'
