Cow & Boy is a strip still fresh from the wrapper, only a few weeks old. It's too early to know who the characters are, beyond the titular clue, but I feel a certain kinship with the strip. It launched with United Media in January, as Spot the Frog did two years ago, and it features a friendship between a boy and his cow, which I might have tried if I could draw cows. The creator is named Mark Leiknes, an amazing coincidence since half of his name bears a strong likeness to my own.
A strip in its first weeks, first months, is like a seed sprouting, the shoot craning its neck and looking for the sun, wondering which way to grow. I wish Mark the best of luck with his gardening.
