It’s the farm where Spidey gets his web fluid.

Lots of inbreeding, I see.

Real nice animals, in a country place.

They sure do have abundant livestock. Must be a chore to keep track of ’em.

You won’t find a manhole there…(Al Cooper, House in the Country)

’Tis a goodly crop of crosshatched critters.

Gummy bear farm?

Where the Animal Crackers are raised.

Nice.

love the generic ‘animals’; reminds me of some of Edward Gorey’s

If anyone sees Impkins, send them here! I’m on the lookout too.

Reminds me of the old commercials for Crispy Critters. (“The one and only cereal that comes in the shape of animals!”)

Larry Niven’s bandersnatches. (bandersnatchii?)

Reminds me of The Far Side’s “boneless chicken ranch” cartoon panel.
