Fillmore already knows that.

To me he is the most interesting character in this strip.

I guess it can take time and patience to get results.

It’s turtles all the way down.

Big turtles, little turtles, medium-sized turtles. Some from here, some from there and some from way over there. Genealogy can be interesting.

Just tell people you’re a direct descendent of the giant carnivorous Archelon. It’ll sound impressive anyway.

Hawthorne, if you’re wise, do as Fillmore says and leave him alone to his research.

Hawthorne need to be put in a pot of boiling water.

Apparently nobody knows what species turtles evolved from, whatever it may be was in the Triassic.

Shouldn’t that be “Please scuttle off”?

I believe the word for a crab moving is “scuttle”, not “shuttle”/

Genealogy research can be such a cruel master …
