Cow-ment your code
TL;DR
Being silly with cowsay.
Do you know cowsay?
$ cowsay 'Hello, world!'
_______________
< Hello, world! >

Too cute! I thought to make a little wrapper to produce cow-ments for
code instead, so here’s cowment:
Use it by passing the comment you want to spice up:
$ cowment 'This section is really important, watch out!'
type: 'elephant-in-snake'

# ______________________________________________
# / \
# | This section is really important, watch out! |
# \ /
# ----------------------------------------------
# \
# \ ....
# . ........
# . .
# . .
# ....... .........
# ..............................
# Elephant inside ASCII snake
#
##########################################
Then copy, paste… and you’re done! The theme is chosen randomly among
the available ones in the specific installation, although you can force
one by setting environment variable TYPE:
$ TYPE=milk cowment 'This section is really important, watch out!'
type: 'milk'

It should not be too hard to adapt it to suit your programming language… this is left as a trivial exercise for the reader 🙄
Happy cow-menting!
