The trip from the perspective of the photon would be instantaneous, if I remember correctly.

Yep, they experience no time or space as they move at light speed :)

The others are observed by odd cows

Common misconception. They have to be prime cows.

There are only about half a dozen stars twenty light years from here, and not all of them are visible to the naked eye. I wonder if the artist had one in mind.

Moo god, it's full of stars!

It took him 20 years? Goku could've made that trip in a heartbeat!

It's more likely that the speed runner just had an old/loose/dusty console or cartridge, by his own admission.
