The Vegetables: Seconds out

Spud cartoon - click below for text description

[+] Click for text description

The picture shows the inside of a boxing ring in a packed sports arena.

In the ring is a boxing kangaroo, wearing shorts decorated with the Australian flag and red boxing gloves. His opponent is Spud, who is wearing Union Jack shorts. He is shaking in fear as he is backed into the corner. His left arm has already been punched off and is lying on the ground.

Spud is only the kangaroo's latest opponent, though. Cabbage is shaking with terror behind him, whilst Celery lies concussed off to one side. Dark glasses, a white cane and a crutch lie on the floor too, having whacked out of the by the fearsome kangaroo too.

Underneath the cartoon, the caption reads "Aussie firm's miracle solution for vegetable invalidity scroungers".
