A Pugilistic Vegetable

The Veggie Tales are awesome. I don't know how many of you have seen this, but it is defiantly worth checking out. I first heard of Veggie Tales many years ago, but I avoided them because I thought it was some preachy "don't eat meat" cartoon.

It is not.

It is a preachy "say your prayers and read the bible" cartoon.

There is something so interesting about hearing a tomato tell you about Corinthians 12:10.

This coloring book page features a pickle wearing boxing gloves. I guess a pickle is a vegetable. I never really thought about that, but I guess they aren't fruit. I just think of them as "those green things everyone pulls off of their hamburger at McDonalds."

You will notice that his hands aren't attached to his body. This isn't a mistake. Veggie Tales have no hands so anything they hold just sorta floats in front of them like the boxing gloves do.

The pickle is ugly.

  1. I think the pickle is supposed to be Goliath of the Davey and Goliath story

    I don't understand this picture. Why does the pickle wear a belt? Shouldn't it just float in front of him. I am confused.

    Ugh! Veggie Tales. That and eskimos.
    I'm not very creative.

    Pickle??? I thought he was just a hot dog that was dropped into a deep fryer.

    By the way, I am selling such a dog today!

    Hot dogs! Get your hot dogs here!

  6. Before his rise to fame on Veggie Tales, the pickle spent a brief stint as one of the American Gladiators. I think he was Pizzow.

  7. Was someone picking on the pickle? Is that why he wants to start punching? Please!
