Cow and Boy

Cow and Boy is a comic strip created by Mark Leiknes and distributed by United Features Syndicate that began its run on January 2, 2006.

The strip centers on a boy named Billy and his best friend Cow, who live on Billy's family's farm. Apparently, only Billy can speak with Cow (though Martin at times has as well), but neither seems to mind as they share a vivid sense of imagination and adventure.

Other featured characters include Billy's mother, father, sister Tracy, Billy's friend, Martin, and Smart Billy, Billy's tutor.

Ongoing themes include:

• Billy's family's concern about his close friendship with Cow and his need for more human contact.
• Billy and Cow creating fantastic moments.
• Billy and Cow enjoying doing nothing at all.
• Billy's sister and her annoyance with Billy and Cow.
• Cow bringing an outsider's perspective to Billy and Martin's games.
• Billy's concern over the state of the world (I.E. global warming)
