Lucky for me that Marvel Two-in-One #78 (August 1981), by Tom DeFalco, David Michelinie, Ron Wilson and Chic Stone, exists then, isn’t it?
So I’ve had the kind of day that can only be improved by looking at pictures of the Thing fighting guys in vegetable costumes.
I can’t believe I missed this issue when I did Ben Grimm panels, so thanks, Mike. You cannot be beet!
Fear not, frantic ones! hese characters will reappear, suitably “dark and gritty” for our modern times, in an upcoming issue of Daredevil — “MEAT IS MURDER, VEGGIES ARE MAYHEM!”
The Vegan Gang strikes again!
Tomatoes aren’t vegetables.
Did he turn them all into a V-8?

According to this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato#Fruit_or_vegetable.3F
…the tomato is, in botanical terms, a fruit, and, for culinary purposes, considered a vegetable. And, when attacking a member of the Fantastic Four, it is considered a villain.
(That last bit may not be in the linked article. Yet.)
I heard these guys found religion in prison and now star as the Veggie Tales.
Did you hear that The Tomato and The Carrot had to replace their partner who was at least a foot shorter? They weren’t happy about that at all because it meant they had to get by with a reduced celery.
