I think it’s nice that the apple dumpling gang are both southerner and hobo-coded. It’s like bisexuality for characters that wear itchy footy pajamas with a butt flap.
The bit about using pre-existing images, which is a bit that was done out of necessity, is not really that funny, and doesn't add that much, and which could probably be done better in a different comic if I went into it knowing ahead of time that that would be the crux of the humor. That being said, the only thing being lost here are completely unremarkable drawings of vegetables that everyone can already identify, so I think, at least, that nothing is being taken away, quality wise.
A few scrapped lines:
Sugar Snap Peas: If sugar snap peas are genuinely your favorite, then there’s no way you’re buying them at the store. You clearly have a sugar snap peas “guy”
Zucchini: No dude, its awesome. It’s like a cucumber except you only eat it when it’s warm wet and flaccid, and if you grow it wrong it can kill you.
Turnip: Turnip for what!!!! Hahaha. Just messing around man. Anyway. child molester
Eggplant: Oh la la. If it isn’t Marco Pierre White
Cauliflower: No it’s not. No it’s not dawg. Mad respect that you’re trying to go vegan or lose weight or whatever but it doesn’t do anyone any favors to lie to yourself like this.
Iceberg Lettuce: You may as well just take up smoking
There was also a bit that failed to materialize about how you don’t seem to run into Swiss Chard anywhere in grocery stores, but how every urban garden always seems to be growing a shitload of it. Like, some inner city family stops by to grab some fresh tomatoes or something and instead walk away with a garbage bag full of some fucking thing I wouldn’t know how to prepare if you held a gun to my head. They love this stuff!
