Turtles in comics: Beep Beep the Road Runner

Why in Database: Note about the nameless turtles that appeared in the comics of the series Beep Beep the Road Runner

Beep Beep the Road Runner #019: Coyote is setting up a trap by creating a turtle costume. Of course, ultimately nothing comes of it, he ends up in his shell “on his back”, which, given that the only hatch is on them, makes him trapped in his invention.

Beep Beep the Road Runner #047: Coyote managed to catch the Road Runner and tied it to a plate. The latter, however, runs away, looking like a turtle – in one scene he hides in the mud and, hidden under a lid, talks with a coyote, who thanks him for pointing to the (obviously wrong) whereabouts of the Road Runner and calls him “turtle”.

Torti

Why in Database: Torti is one of the turtles that appear in the Porky Pig comic. The ship on which Petunia, Pokry and Bugs are sailing is damaged, Torti helps them temporarily by patching the hole in the hull with himself, thanks to which they reach the beach, where they can easily repair the ship. The heroes quickly find an opportunity to repay Tortie and save him from the natives who caught him – it turns out that the inhabitants of the island massively rob turtles of their shells, because whoever gets the prettiest, is the king of the island (fortunately, it happens in a comic book form, that is, the turtles are not physically harmed, they can live without their shells). The heroes help the turtle community by causing (though accidentally, i.e. they wanted to do it, but in a different way) the natives to lose interest in turtles and give them their shells.

Porky Pig #052 (reprinted in Porky Pig #028 by Gold Key, screens are from reprint): Maaaany frames on 16 pages.
