cows_with_gunsby Dana Lyons and Jeff Sinclair (Illustrator)
Penguin Studio Books, 1998

George Orwell meets Gary Larson and Matt Groening in this riotous book that contains the complete “Cows with Guns” lyrics boldly rendered in full color by cartoonist Jeff Sinclair. The lyrics recount the tale of Cows Tse-Tongue, a militant, renegade cow, who incites his fellow cows to rise up and revolt against such bovine enemies as farmers, beef inspectors, the police and ultimately the U.S. government. Cow Tse-Tongue’s valiant efforts will guarantee that you’ll never look at a hamburger the same way again! Packaged with a special CD of the original “grange-rock” song plus a new instrumental version, “Cows with Guns” makes the ultimate gift for the animal lover in us all.
