"I'm the cook."
This dudes just like "hey let me rest under this cow for a while"
The text in the upper right says "The Prince of Orange did milk the cow" or something to that effect. I assume that's the guy under the cow.
FWIW the Prince of Orange was the guy in charge in Holland, and I think that the guy riding the cow was the Spanish Emperor, which was either the ruler of the Netherlands or at war with them at the time of this political cartoon.
Not longe time since I saw a cowe did Flanders represente. Upon whose backe Kinge Phillip rode as being malecontent.
