Going for a stretch and saying that this is my favorite post you've ever made. And, maybe turning the discussion away from tomato love, however nice that might be, I'll say that that canon is really working out for you.

That was me. Just a joke. Art bloggers are so freaking uptight. Not you Martin. I get accused of attacking people even when I am being completely straightforward (see 'artfagcity'). I was poking fun at that.
By the way, a book I read to my son many times, "How Are You Peeling" should be right up your alley Martin. The authors took pictures of various vegetables and fruits, peppers, eggplants, apples and oranges, and then used seeds and stems to create specific facial expressions. Very clever and imaginative. Bye bye.
hey eric - i was gonna delete that but then i thought 'duh, who doesn't know eric is crude and unstable', and i figured you probably wrote it anyway.
what art fag city thing? i check that blog like every day, but i don't know what you're referring to. maybe i missed some comments somewhere.

I thought Jesus usually showed up as a food face, does he have some problem with tomatoes?
