St. Wombus and the Zucchiniby `ursulav

Anthro / Traditional Media / Painting & Airbrushing

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!

This is just awesome. Also, I may take your advice and invoke St. Wombus next year. So. Many. Squash.

Yes, but does it work for vampiric squash?
Anyway, love the smile, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Good work.

My mother once left a bowl of zucchini from our in the break room at work, she swears there were 2 more bowls the next day.

I'm not a gardener, so I don't really understand... are squash particularly notable for taking over gardens? Or is this just a joke that I'm reading way too much into?

That's exactly it.

By "manageable levels" do you mean not coming to life and attempting to attack a certain vest-wearing pickaxe-wielding female wombat?

I think St. Wombus has been in my parents veggie garden.

I am curious about how you came up with "Wombus". I nicknamed my brother that years ago. I thought he was the only Wombus in existence.

I MUST acquire an icon of St. Wombus for my parents!
