Groucho the Grouchy Groundhog Second Graphic Novel Releases- Plus a giveaway!

Hello world-
Oh my pancakes!
Last Tuesday, I got to celebrate the release of my second graphic novel in the Groucho the Grouchy Groundhog series. The title is The Terrifying Turnip Takeover. 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.
And of course, since it’s my book birthday, I’m hosting a giveaway!! Please comment below and tell me your favorite graphic novels. I’m always trying to read more… For Canada and US, ends May 15, 2026.

You might be wondering, what does this book have to do with turnips?? Here’s what the book is about:
A new villain is sprouting in Critter Creek—Lord Turnip! With his legion of zombie turnip farmers, he plans to turn the town’s rich soil into a giant turnip empire. Only Groucho, the town’s 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. Packed with slapstick humor, silly puns, and veggie-sized chaos, this second Groucho the Groundhog adventure proves that even the grumpiest hero can save the day… whether he wants to or not.
