That cartoon reminds me of the family lore where one of my grandparents and his son got caught out in the field, fortunately with a tree close by. A Jersey bull chased them up the tree and waited a couple hours for them to come down so he could gore them. It finally lost patience and wandered off.

LOVED that story! I’m illustrating a book by my grandmother with old postcards. She published The Canon City Cannon in 1908 and put out 2 little books. I used that postcard for “It’s a comfort that no one can make a mistake without learning something.” Truer words...
