I saw this last night and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. The adventures that ox must have had.

I wonder if 5000 BC had a version of Evel Knievel who would jump an ox over a canyon.

I don't know if it's just how it aged, but the wear pattern looks like it was ridden by other toys and ran over things

any chance you've read Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr? in that lovely book, there's a boy from 15th century Bulgaria who's outcast due to a cleft palate (!) and whose two best friends are the best oxen of the village (raised since birth). the story that follows is as bittersweet as any dog book.

the tiger stripes on the ox are essential though, without those stripes it's not a tigrox

This is so fascinating, also because an ancient toymaker was like “Sure kid, I can make a cow that’s got wheels. She’s her own cart.”

I'm no anthropologist but I'd argue those wheels aren't analogous to car wheels, they're analogous to the circular motion-blurred bongo- accompanied legs of running cartoon characters

Even ancient cultures saw the value of play and imagination. I would have been right there on the floor next to them, enjoying the adventures of Mr. Ox. hehe

I'm so happy this is hitting others as much as it has me. Even moreso because all this time I've been thinking about kids being kids, I can't stop thinking about how Palestinian kids aren't able to have that.
