It started as an anonymous Facebook page in July 2015 posting daily Internet memes with a Newfoundland twist. Eight years later, the Newfoundland Turnip has amassed a following of over 250,000 from all over the world. The Turnip, as it’s called by fans, puts a Newfoundland spin on everything it shares online. Think of it as your modern-day Newfie joke book. Part comic book, part biography on the growth of a local Internet sensation, this book will take you through the journey of The Newfoundland Turnip thus far. Featuring commentary from some of Newfoundland’s local celebrities, this book will have you cracking up laughing while confusing you, offending you, and warming your heart like you’d just had a cup of tea in Nan’s kitchen—just like any basic cultural Newfoundland experience should.
