The moment Kings Soopers pulled the jalapenos from shelf is the moment I went into a fanatical craving for them. I make my own killer salsa, and without the jalapeno, it is nothing more than glorified tomato sauce. I have been in an extreme funk since and have not been able to get my mind off of it, hence the comic.

But truly the comic is about how everyone keeps drilling in my head eat your veggies! Eat your veggies! Especially my doctor. Granted, I know I do feel better as a person the few times a month I eat my veggies, but can you blame me for my hesitation? First the spinach, then the tomatoes, then the cilantro, now the jalapenos! I think my health is better served
sticking to my Dutch pastries.

"Benjamin Hummel possesses the single most important characteristic required of an editorial cartoonist: a passion for the issues. His point of view is never in doubt. When you add a sense of humor, a feel for irony and fine-tuned art skills, you have here a cartoonist worth your attention."

--Mike Keefe, Denver Post Cartoonist

"Finally, an editorial cartoonist who leans right, lives his faith, sees the funny side of politics, and can draw. Conservatives are going to like Ben's pen."
