 Where's My Cow?
comment
Not exactly the book mentioned in the Discworld book Thud!, Where's My Cow? uses three distinct art styles. It tells the story of the time (mentioned in Thud!) when Vimes changed the story to a more "city-appropriate" version, removing the animals and putting in city people. The first, most realistic, art style is the real world events. The second, highly simplistic, is for the Where's My Cow? book itself. The third is a cartoony style that anthropomorphises the toys and paintings, a visual description of young Sam's imagination. As young Sam gets more and more worked up the art styles blend together.

Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: Vimes looks like Pete Postlethwaite in this book, reflecting what was said to be Pratchett's personal Hypothetical Casting.

Creator Cameo: There's a portrait of Terry Pratchett in Young Sam's room.

Background Body Part: Just as described in Thud! the animals are all standing near things that create the illusion of horns and udders. For at least a second. If you'd never seen a cow before. Maybe.

Please Keep Your Hat On: In possibly the first ever illustration of him sans Watch helmet, Samuel Vimes is revealed to have greasy helmet hair. Young Sam's hair is no beautician's masterpiece, either.

When She Smiles
 Where's My Cow? / int_72c8b35c
comment
When He Smiles: This is also the first, and probably only, Discworld illustration where Vimes is actually smiling. And not the mirthless, or dangerous, kind he's been known to give just before he cuffs someone, but an actual big goofy, and happy smile.

Inherently Funny Words: Both "hippopotamus" and the sound that it's given to make. It goes HRUUGH!

Catchphrase
 Where's My Cow? / int_b01abe4f
comment
Catchphrase: Most of the things Vimes has the Ankh-Morpork characters say are their catchphrases, like Foul Ole Ron's "Buggrit! Millenium hand and shrimp!" or Lord Vetinari's "Don't let me detain you."

Depending on the Artist: Most characters that were illustrated here were also drawn by Paul Kidby in The Art of Discworld and look rather different in the two books.
