Where's My Cow? by Terry Pratchett5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Inherently Funny Words: Both "hippopotamus" and the sound that it's given to make.Depending on the Artist: Most characters that were illustrated here were also drawn by Paul Kidby in The Art of Discworld and look rather different in the two books.Creator Cameo: There's a portrait of Terry Pratchett in Young Sam's room.Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: Vimes looks like Pete Postlethwaite in this book, reflecting what was said to be Pratchett's personal Hypothetical Casting.Catchphrase: Most of the things Vimes has the Ankh-Morpork characters say are their catchphrases, like Foul Ole Ron's " Buggrit! Millenium hand and shrimp!" or Lord Vetinari's "Don't let me detain you.".Where's My Cow? provides examples of the following tropes: As young Sam gets more and more worked up the art styles blend together. The third is a cartoony style that anthropomorphises the toys and paintings, a visual description of young Sam's imagination. ![]() The second, highly simplistic, is for the Where's My Cow? book itself. The first, most realistic, art style is the real world events. It tells the story of the time (mentioned in Thud!) when Vimes changed the story to a more "city-appropriate" version, removing the animals and putting in city people. Not exactly the book mentioned in the Discworld book Thud!, Where's My Cow? uses three distinct art styles. ![]()
