VeggieTales creator Phil Vischer has responded to a question about the sexual orientation of Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber, two characters he created for the Christian children’s show, the former of which he voiced himself.
In a tweet that appears to have been deleted, Twitter user Quinn Smith said, “@philvischer was in Milwaukee at a @relientK concert, and @gracebaldridge suggested that Bob & Larry are gay, can you confirm?”
Vischer replied to Smith’s tweet with one word: “Nope.” From his response, it is unclear whether Vischer was denying that the VeggieTales characters are gay, or if he was simply saying that he couldn’t publicly confirm the theory.
