The lead artist for DC Comics, Rick Keene,
created the attached drawing of "Elsie" Borden,
the cow, in 1984 as an exercise in ink and brush.
DC Comics does Superman, Batman amongst others.

Yes, that is one evil looking cow!
I used to wonder if the Borden dairy was affiliated with
the Borden family we all know and love, I assume that
it is not. But, wouldn't that be an interesting
footnote in history?

Susan:
Back in 1939 the Borden Milk Company held a contest to
name their latest trademark, a cow. Alexander Woollcott,
noted theater critic and wit of that period, submitted
the name "Lizzie." For obvious reasons
he didn't win. Apparently the company believed "Elsie
Borden" was a more appropriate and gentler name for
their product than "Lizzie Borden," an alleged
murderer.

Thanks for the info, Bill! I had
no idea! Its kind of sad that today we still all
know Elsie's husband, Elmer the bull, as in Elmer's glue.
But, outside of her picture on their cheese, I believe
it is, she doesn't get much press.
