You’ve never heard the expression, “how now, brown cow?” It used to be something people said all the time, it’s just a silly phrase meaning “how’s everything going.” He’s just playing around with the phrase “how now brown cow.”
This is one of those stupid comics that has, of its own free will, randomly popped back into my head over the last 20 years.
I had started to think it wasn’t real and I’d just misremembered a Far Side comic and now boom, it’s here like an awkward Christmas gift.
I bought the collection of far side back in the 90s, once it was finished. So none of these are new to me, but they still make me chuckle
Can someone explain?
I don’t get it either
It’s a reference to this:

Larson is taking the phrase out of its normal context and riffing on it in an absurdist way for laughs.
Old people get this. I’m not saying if I did or not.
