I think the joke is the guy has got as far as saying 'This is a cow' and already he's getting questions
That seems logical.
I'm serious it seems I'm too stupid for these comics. I get like one in 10 jokes at best..
There's no real pun or anything. It's just joking that even for the simplest topics, there's always a guy with questions.
Don't overthink these, there's no hidden joke or anything
Funnily enough, this panel is a perfect allegory for this community.

Cow tools begs to differ
To be fair there wasn’t a hidden joke there either lol. Gary Larson himself admits his mistake in that strip was making the “Cow Tools” look somewhat like regular tools. People read too much into it trying to find the “hidden meaning” when he didn’t mean there to be one. It was supposed to just be an absurdist panel.
?
I get it as there is always a guy who have questions on any topic.
I read it as "the guy is so stupid he is lost already"
Maybe it's about calling the woman a cow
Hello fellow Far Side fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.
The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side
Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, cool stuff about the author, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s The Far Side!
