This work usually involves heading to some dangerous area to grab some item the mayor requested, so without much choice in the matter, the turnip hero takes off to interact with other living vegetables and fruits, fight off animals like snails and rabbits that view him as a snack, and most importantly still try and stick it to the man while unfortunately working for him. Turnip Boy’s greenhouse home is one day taken from him by Mayor Onion, the mayor asserting that since Turnip Boy hasn’t paid any taxes he must do some community service if he wants his house back.


While often thought of as a rather stuffy form of white collar crime, Turnip Boy’s particular form of tax evasion is the impetus for his short little adventure across a world populated by living plant people. Turnip Boy’s anti-establishment leanings are certainly more silly than anarchic, a fairly easy to infer aspect of the goofy little character thanks to his starring role being in the oddly named Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. If Turnip Boy ever heard the Benjamin Franklin quote “in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes”, the mischievous little sentient turnip would not only object to its premise but likely take umbrage with the fact a statesman spoke with any authority on any subject.
