Looks more like turtle soup on legs.

(from Alice in Wonderland)

“We called him Tortoise because he taught us.”

The alligator went as a crocodile.

The terms turtle and tortoise are used with different meanings in different parts of the English-speaking world. And don’t even get me started on terrapins

Seems the least he could do was to have glued a bird onto his shell!

No wonder he’s slow!

How long did it take him to traverse the neighborhood or will this be his one and only stop?

I think that’s Michelangelo handing out the treats. (Without his mask)

We get lazy teenagers dressed up as lazy teenagers…

The Turtle Moves!

One of his neighbors is going to snap at him.

No treat for this bum.

We won’t.

In the Bronx he’d a a Toitle.

He really is a tortoise if he’s on land. Turtles live in water.

I guess he’s trying to get him to shell out lots of candy.

Sorry, no candy for you.
