The Secret Life of Cows
Let's face it, if you don't find these pictures funny on first sight, no amount of forewords will persuade you otherwise." --- from the Foreword by Eric Idle
Look at those cows and remember that the greatest scientists have never discovered how to turn grass into milk." --Michael Pupin
* Never has the divine bovine aspired to such a laudable art form.
In one of the most imaginative books you'll pick up this year, digital slight-of-hand artist Glen Wexler creates a vibrant counterculture that merges fantasy and reality.
* Recipient of the International Photography Association's Gold Medal and Best of Show Awards, Wexler's digitally enhanced photo-illustrations are paired with udderly funny musings from the likes of Dave Barry, Ogden Nash, and Eric Idle, who authors the book's foreword and happens to "know a bit about cows in comedy."
* Wexler put more than 600 creative hours into this book, working with Muppet wardrobe designer James Hayes and pyrotechnic extraordinaire Joe Viskocil. No detail or pixel has been overlooked in the creation of this "mooving" photographic expose.

A book about the secret life of cows?
As a life-long cow fan, I just had to buy this when I found it on ebay during a boring day of work. Especially with such a beautiful cow on the cover!
Sadly, the inside wasn't quite that good. They are cow, uhm, caricatures? Whatever you might call them, I didn't find them all that funny.
But for a 1-Euro Ebay buy, I can't complain.

Micah and Jack thought this one was hilarious! They loved the cows dressed as superheroes.

Coffee table-ish, humorous collection of loopy altered photographs of cows, purporting to show their "secret lives" as super heroes and master spies.
