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.

Why in Database: Tom is a bit weird because he appears in Four color #0355 – Bugs Bunny where he is depicted as a turtle who won the race against Bugs Bunny. But it should be Cecil, not Tom. However, apart from that, Bugs wants a rematch, the turtle refuses… only tempted by the option that he will get enough money to buy a new lake (because the old one is almost completely dry) agrees to become a Hot-Rod driver for Bugs’ rival team. During the race to the ignorance of the turtle, Bugs is constantly disturbed by those for whom Tom is going, but when he finds out, he warns his rival and the rest of the competition is fair – ending in a draw. But as a result of certain events and the failure of the water pipeline, his lake is refilled with water, so Tom is happy anyway.
