By Request About the Artist? Why Veggie?

In the beginning of
the life of a chunk of Tofu and a Hot
Dog made from non-meat products (a.k.a. Veggie
Link) was nothing! That's all they were. But, as the
story goes they were lunch for a scientist hard at work on a secret mixture of |
Story
of Capn Veggie Link:
radioactive...uh...stuff. Well, mmm..oh ya, his lunch (Tofu and Veggie
Link) fell in the stuff along with all his Bible software and out came two super
food dudes. As for me, I don't believe a word of it...mmm...yeah.
Today they both fight evil while spreading God's message with Bible in hand.
Story of the artist guy and the vision for the future of The Ice Box Bunch:
Jesus Fun! started in summer of 1996 when Pastor Geoff Park asked if I
would use my art talents and make a coloring book for our church's VBS program
for kids. Inside that coloring book was a bogus movie advertisement that read: "Capn
Veggie Link and Tofu Coming Soon." It had a
Picture of the Capn and Tofu looking rather brave.
The
children and a handful of adults (you know who you are) kept asking when the
video or book would be out. My two girls and a young man at church named Paul
would not give up and wanted more of the Icebox Bunch. I prayed about it and
then made 75 copies of the coloring comic books featuring The Capn.
I set them out before services and that morning via both adult kids mostly and
children all issues were gone in ten minutes.
 |
Word got out and churches from around Southern California wanted copies sent as soon as I could make them. Alas, the demand was too great. I began to pray (using the ABC's of prayer) that God would send aid if He wanted this new ministry to continue. |
The church body came through (no, no begging or asking; only prayer) as my great friends from church Greg, Thomas, Darolyn and others began to donate parts for what would later become our first computer thanks to the amazing MacGyver abilities of Mr. John Mitchell. John set up my computer and when word got out everyone began asking what the web address was and how come they can't find the Capn & Tofu online
When we made our online debut it was quite challenging. Once we made an
Internet home at CapnVeggieLink.com the popularity of this little hot dog
cartoon hero became global very quick.
YOU DID IT! Jesus Fun!, thanks to many individuals and churches from around the world we have been expanding and branching out into cyberspace and inner space. A thousand thanks to you all!
We are in the developmental stage of several expansion projects. In addition to our coloring comics we are working on a a full length cartoon release on video. That is the vision that we have placed before God for the future if we are so blessed as we have been.
This
all could not have been possible without the generous help from God, friends,
church fellowship and family! Thank you all for being GREAT throughout all the
madness and praise God for blessing me with you all!

Better for you. Carrot-crunching heroes stay slim, healthy, and
sizzling-while meat-eating folks start fizzling! That's because it's a hard
medical fact that meat-eating clogs the arteries going to ALL your organs, not
just to your heart. In fact, the three biggest killers in the United
States-heart disease, cancer, and stroke-are linked to meat consumption.
Vegetarians have more "get up and go" and less unwanted body fat than
meat-eaters.
Better for the animals. Meat hot dogs can contain all sorts of ugly stuff,
including the stomachs, snouts, spleens, intestines, and even lips
and anuses of
abused animals. If you could see inside slaughterhouses, you'd lose your lunch
(GROSS!!!!)
Food for thought.
