It would seem the artist has never seen a Thanksgiving turkey in any state but cooked and on a the carver platter.
Maybe it’s the comma before and in a list of three or more things.
Or the
Title
or, subtitle
thing.
On comma before and in a list, Strunk and White say:
“In a series of three or more terms with a single conjunction, use a comma after each term
except the last.
“Thus write,
red, white, and blue
honest, energetic, but headstrong
He opened the letter, read it, and made a note of its contents.”
The gods have spoken. Mortals must obey. Except the “Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.”
There are two main different styles: the Oxford Style Guide http://www.ox.ac.uk/public_affairs/services_and_resources/style_guide/ and equivalents in USA, which are intended as most appropriate for applications such as technical writing, where clarity, precision, and unambiguity are the most important factors; and then there is ‘Cambridge Style’ or ‘Associated Press’ https://www.apstylebook.com/ which is more appropriate for applications like journalism where fitting as much as possible into the smallest space is a higher priority. Either is correct, if used consistently.
I think she is in denial. Her father is not only either a short person, or has legs amputated below the knee, but also a cross-dresser.
Maybe she is just mad for not inheriting her dad’s normal sized mouth. She would like to east some turkey, but alas! Can only drink things through a straw.
I think I wrote a better plot for the book that it probably has…

And doesn’t know how to punctuate a book title. Does NOT bode well for the interior text… O_o
What’s wrong with the punctuation? Asides from its being in a revolting font?

Oh that’s scary bad. Nothing good to say about this.
Meh. I’d call this one not-too-bad. Get a real cartoon artist to do the same drawing and I think it would be just fine and appropriate to its genre.
Mom’s got no legs.
La, la, la, la, la… I can’t hear you. So STFU, Mom.
Counselling must be really expensive wherever she’s from.
The stripes really make this cover.
Mother “almost” ruined my life.
