Introducing Tofu the Vegan Zombie
Twilight brought about the vegan vampire phenomenon. In the book series and movie, vampires who chose not to suck blood from humans were “vegan.” Granted, they got their fix from animals, so they wasn’t really anything vegan about them, but I digress. The phrase “vegan vampire” became a popular one.
Now, Applehead Factory brings us the award-winning Tofu the Vegan Zombie, a cartoon starring the voices of Ellen Muth of Dead Like Me (of which a movie version was released this week) and Billy West of Futurama.
“Tofu is a friendly zombie, created from a botched experiment in Professor Vost’s laboratory. Monkey #5, one of Vost’s lab animals, stuffed a block of tofu into the zombie boy’s open skull after accidentally losing the brain. As a result, ‘Tofu’ eats only vegetables and grains and has no taste for human meat. However, if ‘Tofu’ ever loses his ‘tofu-brain,’ he turns into a dangerous zombie creature, craving human flesh.”
“Zombie Dearest,” the first Tofu episode, is now available to watch at Tofu the Vegan Zombie’s online home.
