Plunger-headed cucumber superhero fights lies. Sunday school just got EXTREME.
The made-for-video children's series VEGGIETALES stars adorable, computer-animated vegetables in family-friendly stories that foster Christian values and morality. One of the most beloved VEGGIETALES characters is the cucumber LarryBoy, a mild-mannered janitor who transforms into a plunger-clad superhero to save the residents of Bumblyburg. This collection includes two classic LarryBoy adventures: LARRYBOY & THE FIB FROM OUTER SPACE (1997), in which a little white lie ends up causing big trouble; and LARRYBOY & THE RUMOR WEED (1999), an important lesson about the power of gossip. The volume also features DAVE & THE GIANT PICKLE (1996), a retelling of the Biblical story of David and Goliath; as well as four LarryBoy cartoons rendered in traditional line-drawn animation.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
LarryBoy predated the MCU's self-aware superhero satire by decades, yet remains weirdly sincere.
The Fib monster grows with each lie until it physically imprisons Junior—a visual metaphor that hits harder than most adult dramas.
