Cowsay

Here are some examples of cowsay and fortune used together:

Default cow with fortune

Combined with the program cowsay:

$ cowthink $(fortune)

 ---------------------------------------- 
 o ^__^
 o (oo)\_______
 (__)\ )\/\
 ||----w |
 || ||

The ASCII images are generated by .cow text files located in /usr/share/cows, and all themes can be listed with the cowsay -l. These files can be edited to the user's liking; custom images can also be created from scratch or found on the net. The easiest way create a custom cow file is to use an existing one as a template. To test the custom file:

$ cowsay -f /path/to/file $(fortune)

Random cow with fortune

$ fortune -c | cowthink -f $(find /usr/share/cowsay -type f | shuf -n 1)

Random custom cow with fortune

Complex commands can be chained to produce detailed ASCII art such as this Futurama example.

Display a random cow with a random facial expression and wrap long lines of fortune text:

Note The randomly selected cow is actually a toad chosen from a database with custom ASCII art

$ fortune -a | fmt -80 -s | $(shuf -n 1 -e cowsay cowthink) -$(shuf -n 1 -e b d g p s t w y) -f $(shuf -n 1 -e $(cowsay -l | tail -n +2)) -n

Ponysay

For full 256-colored cowsay-like art use ponysay (version 3.0 has 422 ponies). The syntax is the same, meaning ponysay message to say something and ponysay -l for a complete list of ponies. To select a pony to display, run ponysay --pony x "message", where x is a pony. To create more ponies use util-say-git^AUR and store them in ~/.local/share/ponysay/ponies and ~/.local/share/ponysay/ttyponies/ for desktop and TTY, respectively.
