Living on a farm, Footrot Flats always struck a chord with me. We breed ponies and one strip comes to mind often.
The first frame is a vet walking away from a cow that has obviously just been preg tested, saying "She's empty" the next frame was Wal exclaiming something along the lines of "But. But, I would lean up against her and you could feel her side bumping in and out, in and out"
The final frame being the vet saying "She was laughing at you"
Every couple of years we will get a mare who appears for all the world to be in foal but after some months turns out not to be "She was laughing at you" being the quote every time!
