“borrowed” from a recent edition of the New Yorker, is this cartoon of Vegan Insomnia. I thought it funny, but apparently some vegans don't have a sense of humor (must be lack of b12 in their diets....ahem)

update, to clarify, I don't really think Adam is humor-impaired. He probably isn't a real vegan!
I am not a vegan, nor was I offended by the comic. Ah, the perils of written communication!
hey, I'm vegan, I thought it was hillarious, but then again I take B12 tablets every morning
I'm a former vegan, but I still like the B12 sublinguals. Almost a year later, and I think this cartoon is still funny.
Great stuff... I was searching Google images for insomnia and sleep deprivation images to use on my Cure Sleep Deprivation blog. Don't worry I wont "re-borrow" this one, but man it gave me a good laugh ;-)
I'm vegan, and I think it's hysterical...counting little cubes of tofu...! haha :) Any Vegan?Vegetarian that can't laugh at this needs a brick to the face HAHAHA! Lighten up, people!
Peace all!
Was that tofu then? I thought it were those hay bundles.
but yep, it is kind of funny, there´s better out there though
I am vegetarian. I am not sure I would call it funny, maybe slightly clever.
I'm a vegetarian, and I thought it was hilarious =)
Yeah, I thought they were little bundles of hay too! Tofu you say? Hmm... I am vegan but I don't get it, although I am prone to bouts of insomnia.
I think it's cute and clever. As a vegetarian I simply can't comprehend why someone might find this offensive. o_O
i'm vegan, don't take B-12 (imagine i get it from fortified stuff though), but thought that was rather funny. Not brilliant stuff or anything (making veggie jokes by simple tofu-substitution is quite common), but good for a chuckle. As a side note, my most successful way of falling asleep is to count my breaths. If I get to 60 breaths, I start over, and concentrate on relaxing and going as long without breathing as I comfortably can, so that all my breaths are involuntary, just like a sleep-breathing rhythm. And I might imagine scenes from the most pleasant dreams I can remember, especially ones that occurred as I was drifting in and out of sleep.
Works for me anyway, I'm actually sleepier right now from just writing out those ideas LOL.
i'm a vegetarian, i'm not offended, but it's not funny.
i don't think people count sheep because they eat them, so where is the connection? i mean, it's like saying vegans can't pet a sheep, they have to pet a tofu, or vegans can't ride a horse, they have to ride tofu. it's just not funny. sorry, comic fail.
t5: that's a great idea
I want to ride tofu
i'm vegan. i don't take b12. it's funny.
I'm a vegetarian. I think that the cartoon was saying, in part, that we are fixated on tofu. To a certain extent, that is true.
I rate it as not funny / not offensive.
if your not vegan now...then you never were
Really? Once you are something, you can never be something different? So if I once had a beard, I'll always have a beard? Or what do you mean?
The link to the vegan who didn't find it funny is down, so I don't know what the argument was, but I'm a vegetarian and find it funny. Not hilarious, but it made me smile. I'm printing it out and hanging it next to another comic that has vegans posing for a photo and saying 'Soy'.
Im a vegan and I thought this was pretty funny.
I too am an insomnia sufferer and have tried everything going, I really have including acupuncture, reflexology, herbal, meditations, lumie body clock.
