  1. Yep, take your iodine pills and don’t drink the milk, or dairy products, beer or wine is a better bet for the next month or so.
    Brings back fond memories of being in East Germany (DDR) during the radioactive love tour (Chernobyl) of Europe (ie honeymoon) way back in ’86.

  2. Hungry is also seeing an increased level of glow in the dark (as are several other EU countries)
    there is speculation that it may be tied to an incident in Pakistan

  3. It will be interesting to find out what the source is. Is something happening on the sly?
    The cartoon indicates great skill.

  4. “The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them.”
    Just not in this life. Here on this ranch peace is maintained by being able to inflict more harm on your foe than your foe can inflict on you.
    Great cartoon btw.

  5. Energy density. IOW what works and what does not work. Hyppies always choose the latter because they do not have a clue how the real!! world works. Experts on Utopia, pie-in-the-sky, “working” groups, ect.

  6. ”The Europeans should build many more nuclear facilities while they can. Can you imagine what the Euro region will be like a few years after the muslims have complete control of it? Even though the Euro-weenies richly deserve to lose their countries to the barbaric Islamists, it will be a great revenge to see what their new borns look like with all the uncontrolled radiation releases and all. We could wind up with an entire new species of sub humans.”
    I get it that the cow are eating radio active grass and suddenly are smart … or is there another message there that I am missing

  7. And, correct me if I am wrong – Kate illustrates how the cows in Western Europe will get it long before the climate Alarmism crowd does. Eastern Europe may very well overtake Western Europe if the west keeps up their nonsense.
    Am I wrong?

  8. I-131 has a short half-life of 8 days. Either someone set off a nclear blast in the atmosphere recently, or someone has a nuclear plant with fuel damage that is leaking coolant or gases past containment. And it would have to have been operating very recently or still operating.
    I hope they are checking the US and NATO aircraft in Europe, Afghanistan, Japan, and Korea for contamination.
    I bet the US gov. knows right now the who, how and why, but for some twisted “diplomatic” reason is not saying.

  9. Well E=MC2 is the formula for the speed of light and that formula was kinks disproved a few months ago…apparently it is faster.

  10. It’s code, folks. Those are cows, right, and one of them’s a genius. C O W S— critters occupying Wall Street. Kate’s a secret admirer.

  11. No, just illustrating the changes in store for mankind if cows ever get the bomb. Sheesh.

    Beware when they cough.

  12. Kate .. It would appear you are a fan of Gary Larson. You could maybe take his place in the new papers. I miss him.

  13. THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING
    Will the bovines start AI-ing females and collecting and storing the male seed in little half cc straws mixed with egg white extender in liquid nitrogen tanks?

    One of my favorite memories of the farm is watching a bunch of cats hit by the milkcow’s ‘Green Grass Howitzer’.
    And one of my favourites was the pretty, mean girl, dressed in white, getting it at a 4-H meeting. 🙂

  15. Mike L. 1:59. Apparently there was a mistake in that study. Sorry-return to normal. Forgot where I heard the refutation.

  16. I’m far from an expert in these things, but if it were a nuclear power accident or a nuclear weapons accident, there would be way worse things being detected than I131. Uranium, plutoniun cobalt etc etc would also be detected.
    One possible explanation I heard that sort of makes sense in a release from a nuclear medicine facility. The problem is as the info is filtered though our expert journalists the real story, even if it was there to start will get lost.

  17. Really, really smart cow: “D@mnit I can’t pick up the WRENCH!!!”
    Human, opposable thumb.
    Cow, no opposable thumb.
    Cow bombs will remain poo. ~:)

  18. Well, cows might not have opposable thumbs, but they sure as hell oppose everything else. Contrary critters…

  19. I was reading somewhere that the releases were detected as far back as October 17th in Austria. I think it’s more certain that the situation has been ongoing for at least two weeks. This rules out the recent explosions in Iran as the primary source, although weather patterns already made that doubtful. Pakistan cannot be the source as upper level winds have remained westerly in that region for weeks, any radioactive releases from Pakistan would be drifting towards India and southeast Asia.
    The weather pattern over eastern Europe has been very stagnant with high pressure near Slovakia or Poland, allowing a slow drift from southeast towards the countries reporting the radiation. This suggests a source such as Romania, Turkey or Armenia, or less likely Russia, but also possible problems with nuclear submarines in the Black Sea. The first Turkish earthquake was after October 17th but supposing there were operating problems in Turkey or Armenia and then the first strong earthquake made them worse.
    The Czech government is adamant that the releases are not from their network. I don’t think Hungary or Serbia have nuclear power, so that leaves Romania and countries around the Black Sea the most likely sources.
    The ongoing weather patterns make it conceivable that reports will start coming in from further west such as Belgium or the UK since the wind pattern today and through mid-week continues east to southeast.

  20. So many interpretations.
    I thought it perhaps represented the lieberal (or dipper) caucus, suddenly one of them thought they understood science-imagine how catastrophic that could be.
    Very high quality cartoon though-well done Kate.

  21. Well, cows might not have opposable thumbs, but they sure as hell oppose everything else. Contrary critters…

    And you’ll never see one in a circus.

  22. oh my .the cows have jumped ahead of the pigs and the apes. In a cartoon,
    I feel a mussi protest coming.

  23. As fiddle noted the cows are purported to have leapt the moon…the pigs are too equal by half and the apes only reached low orbit…
    Eat_them_all…

  24. The real fun begins now . . . how the ohhh soooo progressive, smary Euros figure a way to blame Israel for this.
    because they do love their Arabs & Persians and hate the jews over the in Euroland.
