Notes
A full-page cartoon in Cracked: a black-and-white cow lies crumpled on a highway in front of a wrecked red car, its driver dazed at the wheel, with a pool of spilled milk under the cow’s head. Copy: “Milk schmilk. The only good cow is a medium-rare cow. There’s never been a better time to eat beef. Today’s beef is leaner meaner and greener than ever. Hot dogs have never had fewer snout parts per thousand. And don’t even get me started on that other white meat.” Below it, in the lettering of the got milk? logo, “got milk.” with a full stop. The foot reads “Elsie D. Cow © 2003 National Meat Processor Promotion Board.” and “© Copyright 2003 Kent Kennedy/Ktoons”; the art is signed “ktoons”. Page number 4.
Issued by: Cracked magazine, as a parody page (not an advertisement); art by Kent Kennedy. No milk mustache; it parodies the got milk? ads and the board credit line. Printed in Cracked #360 (masthead “Issue 360 • May 2003”), page 4; the research report says the contents page lists it as “Got Milk? … Page 4”.
