''Flork of Cows'' is a webcomic that started in January of 2012. It first started as a simple Wordpress comic for the creator to vent his frustrations with coding, but later migrated to {{Website/Facebook}} and {{Website/Reddit}}, its surreal and [[BlackComedy dark humor]] maturing in accordance with individual strips going viral as reaction images (such as See That Guy Over There and the [[CloningBlues Tago Bell arc]]). The comic is drawn simply in UsefulNotes/MSPaint with a [[HandPuppet sock puppet]] aesthetic to show that you don't need good art to make a good comic (though Flork is a legitimately good artist).

* CanonCharacterAllAlong: A couple of arcs have unexpectedly turned out to be origin stories for existing characters.
** One recurring strip depicted a man who has been sentenced to being "pulled apart by snails". This is implied to take a ''very'' long time, and doesn't kill him but ''does'' noticeably stretch out his arms. He is eventually rescued... [[spoiler:by Merlin, who crowns him as Pat Mage]].
** An October 2021 arc began as an AffectionateParody of telenovelas, only to be suddenly and abruptly hijacked by Legion. The telenovela's protagonist, Gustav, was rescued from the brink of death, again by [[spoiler:Merlin]], who at this point had lost the ability to [[spoiler:create mages]], but had enough magic left to sent Gustav to another world... where he is strongly implied to become [[spoiler:the Crusader]].

* HeWasRightThereAllAlong: During the "Mage Mage" arc, Surprise Mage pulls a BigDamnHeroes during the final battle against [[spoiler:Morgana]]. How did he get to the castle? Well, if you check the early strips (up until Ass Mage and friends are sent falling through a trapdoor) and turn the contrast ''way'' up, you can see Surprise Mage in the background. Surprise! He was, quite literally, with them the whole time.

* SeriousBusiness: The Tago Bell arc starts with the protagonist's attempts to [[ItMakesSenseInContext get his brother Charlie's clone a taco]], and ends with the protagonist and clone!Charlie thwarting an attempt by the other clones to revive the original Charlie by [[spoiler: allowing clone!Charlie to inadvertently perform a HeroicSacrifice by eating the taco.]]

* SurpriseCreepy: Many of Flork's story arcs start off innocent only to suddenly shift into SurrealHorror, BodyHorror, or some other brand of horror. The "surprise" part is downplayed to an extent in that
