No one did. Gary Larson received tons of fan mail asking what it was inferring, and in his self written retrospective, he said even he didn't rightly know.

In the words of Gary Larson:
[release]"The "Cow Tools" episode is one that will probably haunt me for the rest of my life. A week after it was published back in 1982, I wanted to crawl into a hole somewhere and die.
Cows, as some Far Side readers know, are a favorite subject of mine. I've always found them to be the quintessentially absurd animal for situations even more absurd. Even the name "cow," to me, is intrinsically funny.
And so one day I started thinking back on an anthropology course I had studies in college and how we learned that man used to be defined as "the only animal that made and shaped tools." Unfortunately, researchers discovered that certain primates and even some bird species did the same thing--so the deinition had to be extended somewhat to avoid awkward situations such as someone hiring a crew of chimpanzees to remodel their kitchen.
Inevitably, I began thinking about cows, and what if they, too, were discovered as toolmakers. What would they make? Primitive tools are always, well, primitive-looking--appearing rather nondescript to the lay person. So, it seemed to me whatever a [I]cow[/I] would make would have to be even a couple notches further down the "skill-o-meter."
I imagined, and subsequently drew, a cow standing next to her workbench, proudly displaying her handiwork (hoofiwork?). The "cow tools" were supposed to be just meaningless artifacts--only the cow or a cowthropologist is supposed to know what they are used for.
The first mistake I made was in thinking this was funny. The second was making one of the tools resemble a crude handsaw--which made already confused people decide that their only hope in understanding the cartoon meant deciphering what the [I]other[/I] tools were as well. Of course, they didn't have a chance in hell.
But, for the first time, "Cow tools" awakened me to the fact that my profession was not just an isolated exercise in the corner of my apartment. The day after its release, my phone began to ring with inquiries from reporters and radio stations from regions in the country where The Far Side was published. Everyone, it seemed, wanted to know what in the world this cartoon [I]meant![/I] My syndicate was equally bombarded, and I was ultimately asked to write a press release explaining "Cow tools." Someone sent me the front page of one newspaper which, down in one corner, ran the tease, "Cow Tools: What does it mean? (See pg. B14.)" I was mortified.
In the first year or two of drawing The Far Side, I always believed my career perpetually hung by a thread. And this time I was convinced it had been finally severed. Ironically, when the dust had finally settled and as a result of all the "noise" it made, "Cow tools" became more of a boost to The Far Side than anything else.
So, in summary, I drew a really weird, obtuse cartoon that no one understood and wasn't funny and therefore I went on to even greater success and recognition.
Yeah--I like this country.[/release]
TL;DR He saw that primates made tools and wondered what a cow's tools would look like.

You best be trolling, the difference between painting and drawing is fundamental for art.
Drawing uses only lines whereas painting operates only by fields of colour.

It's his most famous work and by far my favorite. I used to just keep a cut-out of it from the newspaper with me all the times and show it to my friends, just so I could see the perplexed look on their faces as they laugh nervously, pretending to get the joke.

Why can't you consider lines a field of color while the empty space is another, white, field of color?

[QUOTE=MountainWatcher;34393946]Why can't you consider lines a field of color while the empty space is another, white, field of color?[/QUOTE]
Line is 1-dimensional, field is 2 dimensional, and you can't count the white fields between them as fields, because there are your base, you didn't make them, they were already there, however I don't know if you painted it FIRST white and then you drawed upon it.
Oh and also, it depending how thick is your pencil(or anything else you draw with) and the density of 'marks' you leave with it you can get something between paining and drawing(I know, it's wierd).

Regardless of where they came from, they're there.
And you can't consider lines to be 1-dimensional, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see them, and you sure as hell wouldn't be able to draw them.
