Adam@Home by Rob Harrell for September 22, 2021

Hope the whole book isn’t deep like the title.

Bad author photo.

Well that beets other possible titles.

“Turnip” is slang for a country bumpkin, a simpleton, or a fool. Maybe that is the usage Laura is going for.

If this was Foxtrot, maybe it would be a book about mom’s cooking.

“My first sale on Amazon!”

Adam will be (turnip) green with envy! ,who knows what he will say tuber….

I thought all turnips were wretched

its its a cookbook (dramatic music)

With a series of unfortunate events.

AFAIC, all turnips are wretched

Not a title that really grabs me. It better have some awesome cover art.

Oh; it’s deep because it’s a root vegetable. I get it.

Watch it become a best seller.

Laura Newman Wilder?

What is a wretched turnip?

The envelope it came in yesterday must be much bigger inside, like the TARDIS.

I dare Andrews McMeel to collect more Adam@Home strips under that title.

Is it a murder mystery involving an evil turnip. I hope so, as they are evil you know…..

With a title like that it’s got to be good.

Lousy cover. At least she got her picture on the back.

It’s a mystery novel. How many bodies will turnip before the crimes are solved?

The Wretched Turnip? Seriously? I could come up with a far better title than that. And I would love to know how such a title can be either “deep” or “meaningful”.

I kind of really want to read it.

Reminded of when an Italian director offered Lucy Ricardo a bit part in his film “Bitter Grapes” and she researched the part by disguising herself as a grape stomper at a winery. It was only after she came back with purple skin after a fight with a regular stomper that he told her the title was metaphorical.

It should be The Wretched Radish. Those darn Fraggles and their tricks to make me eat their food!

“Wretched Rutabaga” would have been more alliterative. :)

Roasted turnips with olive oil is good.
