Artist's Comments

St. Wombus, a little known saint of the late middle ages, achieved fame and beatification for what came to be known as the Miracle of the Zucchini.

Namely, there was only ever the ONE zucchini.

This feat, a sort of vegetable inversion of the loaves and fishes, was so astonishing and obviously counter to nature that Wombus was beatified at once.

His blessing is sought by gardeners who have foolishly overplanted. An icon of St. Wombus, buried upside down in the vegetable patch, is believed to keep most members of the squash family at manageable levels.

---------------

You can take the artist out of Catholicism... anyway, another little piece for AC, about 6 x 10 or thereabouts, mixed media, it'll be in the art show unless somebody hits me up for it at the pre-con price. Prints available for $10 plus shipping. Send a note or visit [link] for details!

Pretty much everything is funny... in a cosmic kind of way.

I knew this was gonna be awesome the second I saw the title, but I didn't know HOW awesome! You officially rule the inernet (and most of australia).
:icondreams-of-all:
Dang, I'd try that--I have definitely experienced the need for only one zucchini. Especially when I plant them too close to the pumpkins and you get the MONSTER ones.

That's wonderful! I've certainly known some people who could use the aid of St. Wombus. (^_^)
