The title is <strong><em>The Terrifying Turnip Takeover<\/em><\/strong>. This is the result of literally decades of dreaming. Back in grade 5, I created my first comic, Squeak and Squeakette, based on a grouchy dog and inspired by none other than Garfield. I somehow never let the idea go and kept developing it over the years until it became an actual concept. A few years ago, I approached the amazing illustrator Tara J. Hannon and she agreed to take on the project! And today, we I get to witness the books manifesting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>And of course, since it\u2019s my book birthday, I\u2019m hosting a giveaway!!

Here\u2019s what the book is about:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A new villain is sprouting in Critter Creek\u2014Lord Turnip! With his legion of zombie turnip farmers, he plans to turn the town\u2019s rich soil into a giant turnip empire. Only Groucho, the town\u2019s grumpiest groundhog, and his loyal sidekick Blork can stop him. But when Lord Turnip starts trapping everyone in his sticky, gooey Poo Goo Glue Slime, things get messy fast.
