B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for September 22, 2021

Up periscope!

This could be revolutionary.

The very first submarine was called the Turtle….

“Let me show you where I stow the propeller.”

“I DON’T WANNA KNOW!”

No prop, just exhaust jet.

But does it have a tv lounge?

Raising the periscope could be awkward for Dookey :/

I don’t think that a periscope will save you from a Plesiosaurs while you go swimming.

I don’t want to know where the other end of the stack is attached !!

My memory is probably faulty, but I don’t recall a single BC cartoon where they had something that could not possibly be stone age. This might be a first!

Dookie bird needs to make sure that the hatch is locked before the next flight!

Diesel powered, or coal burning? Either way, I bet it gets hot enough in there to cook a turtle.

I wonder how much he shelled out for that….

Down periscope!

“Turtle (also called American Turtle) was the world’s first submersible vessel with a documented record of use in combat. It was built in 1775 by American David Bushnell as a means of attaching explosive charges to ships in a harbor, for use against Royal Navy vessels occupying American harbors during the American Revolutionary War. Connecticut Governor Jonathan Trumbull recommended the invention to George Washington, who provided funds and support for the development and testing of the machine.” tyvm, Wiki, but still pretty cool.

So now John is a sub?

Welcome ashore Marine. The beach is right here. The breach is over there and the bleach blond you left behind is gone forever. Have a great day.

Pretty useful. One doesn’t want to go swimming in circles all day.

Turtle submarine sandwich anyone?

Snorkel, periscope, swimming capacity. Just add torpedoes to the mix and you got it made. Not bad improvement though for a land based tortoise……

Reminds me of Cecil Turtle

The bird is out of a job?

B.C. Has gone steampunk.

How … quaint! A chimney!

Perhaps talking animals might be a clue?

I wonder if John picked up a couple of torpedo tubes to go with the snorkel and periscope.

Well, now, I believe you have eyes for that purpose.

Hey ! Who you callin’ Ho?
