As one of the longest-domesticated animals, cows have played a significant role within Western popular culture. Sometimes carrying the power of life-directing myth, and sometimes merely depicted so as to evoke a hearty belly laugh, they have been portrayed in art, nursery rhymes, language idioms, advertisements, and cartoons and comics since the early 1800s.
