The original picture has 3 cows - all three cows were used in the making of this picture, no cows were harmed during editing [except I left off the tail - accident or design, who knows?].

I do not know if this is a Gary Larson cartoon, I can't find my Gary Larson books or the calendar I used to have!

The original picture was taken on a day trip in the Yorkshire Dales.

Anyone who stacks cows that well needs to be recognized one way or another.

Good job. If you're using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, look into the liquify filter. You could've bulged the cow's eyes without adding them in yourself.
