Pig: Hey, Zebra, have you my friend, Tina Turtle? Her Husband Timmy died ten years ago, so all she does now is come here for beer and carry his shell on her back. Zebra: Gee, Tina, I'm so sorry... I guess his shell is your way of holding on. Turtle: To my beer. IT's very handy. Zebra: Forget it. Pig: More ice, Tina Turtle?

Perhaps the most useful thing he’s ever done for her.

I’d need a bigger shell!

Four beers is a lot for most turtles.
Sisyphos almost 13 years ago
Tina is a hardcore drinker. Is there a hidden Temperance pun in Pig’s last words? —“More ice tea in a turtle”?

I love the background on frame 2. Stripey was seeing the light.

They need to bring back Toby the agoraphobic turtle. Tina could borrow his beer bong.

Either way, he was probably always full of beer.

It’s what Timmy would have wanted.

You don’t put ice in beer.@kevin“More ice Tina Turtle” can sound like “more ice tea in a turtle”

Middle panel is pretty great. Love the emotional closeup of Zebra. Terribly morbid joke though. Hey, maybe Tina’s dead husband is the Specral Tortoise of Perspective! And maybe Toby the Agorophobic Turtle is their useless layabout son! But then Toby would be a turtle-tortoise hybrid…is that possible? Am I making sense?
tbritt99 almost 13 years ago
All husbands should be turtles.
Number Three almost 13 years ago
I just love Zebra’s face in the last panel.
LOL xxx
fatmud almost 13 years ago
I love you, Tina Turtle!
Logical Duck almost 13 years ago
Tina not only carries her departed husband on her back, but also all of her forbears!
burleigh2 almost 13 years ago
Wow… how can she reach that beer up there with such short arms? :-s
rgcviper almost 13 years ago
Great to finally see Zebra again, after a LONG absence …
naturally_easy almost 13 years ago
The shell is simply an ice bucket to keep her beer cold. What’s wrong with that. I wish my dead friends’ remains left something useful behind like that.
fmasroor almost 13 years ago
Making the best of it.
