Flork of Cows / YMMV

Germans Love David Hasselhoff: FoC is huge in Latin America, to the point where shops commonly sell cookies in the likeness of the sock puppets (referred to as "deformitos") and they are frequently featured on birthday cake designs, bags and Facebook posts (in a similar vein to how the Minions are used in North America).
Heartwarming Moments:
- This July 3, 2023 strip where one sock has to part ways with a friend to go stream because "there's always this one guy so it keeps me going." He then plays Minesweeper for that one viewer...who is the friend in question, giving a wholesome thumbs-up. This is very relatable for a lot of small-name video game streamers who are thankful for having even just one or two regular lurkers who consider their streams a valuable aspect of their daily lives, which they prefer to having no viewers at all.
- A magician rekindles a man's sense of wonder by getting his parents back together.
  you son of a bitch you rekindled my sense of wonder
Memetic Mutation:
- "You see that guy over there? He thinks X." ^Explanation
- "Fuck, it got weird in here." ^Explanation
- [raises hand] "what the fuck" ^Explanation
Nausea Fuel: Despite the simplistic art-style, some of the gore can be genuinely quite unsettling.
Nightmare Fuel:
- This series of strips probably takes the cake for terrifying Flork comics. It also has two follow-up strips.
- One series of strips is depicted almost entirely through footage from a front door security camera. The strips start off innocuous... until one ends with a man being dragged off-screen by an unseen presence. Cue a series of nightmarish things addressing the camera, trying to persuade the occupant to let them in. The final strip reveals the whole thing took place After the End, with the beings having taken over the world, and the occupant was Dead All Along, having been Driven to Suicide by what was happening outside. Sweet dreams!
- There's a follow-up strip to a strip where Donut Dan advertises a fictional Dunkin' Donuts franchise with its own nuclear reactor, in which Dan does a magic trick...where he straight up bisects a fellow sockpuppet. No illusions, just a dead sockpuppet with his innards on display. Dan then refuses to bring him back with "the advanced nuclear technology [he has] developed" just because he doesn't feel like doing it.
Squick:
- This comic, where a man drinks what is heavily implied to be period blood under the belief that it’s strawberry syrup.
- This one has a man putting seasoning on his food... except that the "seasoning" is actually crumbs from someone's keyboard.
Tear Jerker: Some of the crusader comics can hit the heart very hard. The crowning example is this one, which has the Crusader protest against his colleagues who treat killing like a sport and boast about how many people they’ve slain whilst the Crusader insists that it’s their duty to do this, and they shouldn’t be proud of what they’ve done. The real kicker comes in the last panel, where the Crusader sits among the corpses and begins to pray for them.
- The tale of Mr. Smith and Mr. Business, at first a bizarre humorous journey to exotic locales for reference material for the later's vore fetish commission. It is revealed Mr Business plans to sacrifice himself to Quetzalcoatl to send the beast to sleep once more in order to protect the world. After thanking Mr. Smith for his company and a cheerful farewell, Mr. Business goes to his death with no fear, staring down his executioner and delivering an epic "Facing the Bullets" One-Liner.
Mr. Business, to Quetzalcoatl: I have hope one day that mankind will no longer be prey, as I have seen its strength and it is beyond you.
