"The Misanthropic Cow"  - a tale of an oppressed bovine attempting to weasel her way through the horrors of modern human civilization - employment, political protest, religion, opera, racism, and death.

Inspired by Voltaire's 1759 novel Candide, The Misanthropic Cow depicts a strange bipedal bovine and her journey to make her way in our modern (and often miserable) society. She encounters many journeys along the way - operatic performances, racist cults, confused political protesters, debt collecting bankers - learning that no matter which path she takes, nihilism and misery are always right around the corner.  (Fun!)

"The Misanthropic Cow" tells the story of an oppressed bovine trying to navigate through the challenges of modern human civilization, including employment, political protest, religion, opera, racism, and death. Drawing inspiration from Voltaire's renowned novel Candide, this story follows a peculiar bipedal cow on her journey to find her place in our often challenging and unhappy society.
Throughout her journey, the cow encounters various obstacles, including operatic performances, racist cults, confused political protesters, and debt collecting bankers. She quickly learns that no matter which path she takes, nihilism and misery are always lurking around the corner.
With this dark and satirical approach, "The Misanthropic Cow" offers a critical commentary on the harsh realities of contemporary society, touching on themes such as oppression, prejudice, and the existential crisis that many individuals face in the modern world.
