Nobody on the planet eats more butter than New Zealanders, who consume 26 pounds per person each year. In the United States, however, butter consumption is spread pretty thin - only 4 pounds per year.

Title: Udderly in love (CPESA 1021)
Location: Botshabela Aids Orphanage, 64 Maude Street, Cnr Maude & Main Rd (R55), Midrand
Artist: Ben Crossman
Sponsor: Cell C

Comic strips are universally understood as the words are only secondary to the conversation in the picture. The artist was inspired to write a romantic comic strip by his interest in the lobola tradition(s). He jests about the price of beauty and love and the sometimes unattainable goals that lobola requires, hence utilises a magical force to help realize the idyllic ending.

This cow was sold by Stephan Welz in association with Sotheby's auction on Wednesday 29 June 2005 at the Nedbank Head Office, 135 Rivonia Road, Sandton. Proceeds have gone to CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation to aid their plight in "Keeping more than Hope Alive". Please read the Auction press release should you want more information about the auction.
