Gary Larson: "oh boy, I've got a fun idea for a little comic that's just silly and only meant to be silly"
Literally everybody: "holy shit, this is the greatest example of world building through implications ever produced. We must teach and analyze this for generations"
Gary Larson: "its...no...it's just...cows don't have tools. It's a joke, guys. That's the joke."
Everybody: "a savant. A literary genius for our times..."
