I was called to the counselor’s office in high school because I wrote a children’s book for a health class assignment that was “inappropriate.” An anthropomorphic carrot, Clarence the carrot, befriends a fat kid and helps him make healthy choices and eat fruits and veggies instead of fried food and candy. For most of the book, the kid loses weight and leads a healthier happier lifestyle and at the end says wow Clarence, you changed my life, but why are you the only vegetable that can talk? And he tells the kid they all used to be able to talk, but – in a full-page zoom to this cartoon carrot’s smiling orange face – Clarence murdered them all and used the kid to get rid of the bodies. The last panel is The End over the kid vomiting. The counselor said she thought it was a bit silly to call me in but told me “I am legally required to ask you if you are okay.”
