Lucky Cow is a syndicated comic strip created by Mark Pett and distributed by Universal Press Syndicate. It focuses around the fictional fast food chain Lucky Cow and its workers. In the strip, the restaurant's advertisements advocate obesity and unhealthy eating habits.
All of the main characters are employees of the same Lucky Cow restaurant. Clare, the main character, is the manager's daughter. She is lazy, greedy, and provides very poor customer service. Leticia is Clare's friend and coworker. Her role in the comic is the voice of reason, as she is much kinder and wiser than Clare. Neil, another employee, is timid and acne-ridden. He isn't exactly the brightest person around, and, in strips set outside the restaurant, is sometimes seen being bullied in high school. Elvin is the boss at Lucky Cow. He is generally a tyrant, but is kind on occasion, and has a passionate hobby of knitting.
Pett previously created the comic strip "Mr. Lowe," which was distributed through Creators Syndicate.
A "Lucky Cow" strip earned a place in Guinness World Records as the World's Largest Comic Strips, after students at Gentry High School in Indianola, Mississippi assembled a strip that was 135 feet wide and almost 48 feet high.[1]
