Comments on: Udderly Synchronicitous http://comicsidontunderstand.com/wordpress/2010/02/08/udderly-synchronicitous/ I have no idea whether ''The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy'' is a good album, but I might have to buy it just on the basis of its awesome name Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:28:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Sari Everna http://comicsidontunderstand.com/wordpress/2010/02/08/udderly-synchronicitous/#comment-33281 Sari Everna Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:47:13 +0000 http://comicsidontunderstand.com/wordpress/2010/02/08/udderly-synchronicitous/#comment-33281 Okay, you made me curious, so here's what I've learned: From here ( http://www.hiyt.afhe.ualberta.ca/winter06projects/fifthteat.pdf ) I learned that about half of all cows have one or more extra teats. But it sounds like they're usually pretty small. From wikipedia, that all eutherians(mammals) can have extra teats/nipples, including males, which I was already aware of, but which brings us to our exception and bonus fact. While the males of mammals generally have non-functional nipples, both rats and horses lack this. Have fun wrapping your mind around that one. My conclusion: six teats is entirely possible, but not at that size. Definitely implants. Okay, you made me curious, so here’s what I’ve learned:

Which is the six teats in the second strip. I think it's driving me insane. But nobody’s mentioned the most glaring horrible thing going on here. Which is the six teats in the second strip.

I think the last issue of the comic was supposed to come out back in 2004 or 2005 and never arrived. Frank Cho's too busy drawing The Avengers for Marvel Comics.

Only lawful wedded cows lactate. Or so I've been told. If that cow is a “miss” (heifer), she wouldn’t need to be milked. Only lawful wedded cows lactate. Or so I’ve been told.
