The Vegetables: Man in the mirror

Spud cartoon - click below for text description

[+] Click for text description

The picture shows Spud in his bedroom. He is standing beside his bed, on which he has placed his prosthetic arm, and ilooking at himself in a full-length mirror.

In the mirror, his reflection is fading into the background. Instead, he says a muscular, perfectly-built, Adonis-like figure gazing back at him - a rippling chest and strong legs.

Underneath the cartoon, the caption reads 'It's only society that makes Spud a vegetable'.
