Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for May 27, 2017

Any turtle would be lucky to have you, Verne.

Verne, trust me on this one. You’ll get along in life much easier once you’ve admitted to yourself that no right woman, er, I mean turtle, would have you.

It’s not like the raccoons are lining up around the block for RJ.

R.I.P

Vern isn’t correct since they spend considerable time as aquatic hunters before becoming the winged mayfly.

Tortoise… surely?

You and Hawthorne both. Enjoy your freedom.

At least some turtles have very long lives!

There was a female turtle early in the strip, but she didn’t fancy him. Then he dated Sheila Snail until hunger got the better of him.

RJ, what about you?

Racoon lifespan in the wild: around 3 years. Turtle : up to 100 years. I think you still have the time , Verne

You and everyone else from your generation, Verne.
