Well at least Monroe has stopped running around having a panic attack. Of course this strip brings to mind the old story about the cat that got stuck up in the tree. Everyone worries that the cat can’t get down without help and will just starve to death. But a wise old owl reminds them not to worry because he has never seen a cat skeleton in a tree. I wonder if that is true for turtle skeletons too. See you on Thursday.

Panel 1
Bentley:
Monroe, I know you had a rough time with those frogs gassing you out of the lake and making you homeless.
Panel 2
Bentley:
I know you sat in a pile of poison ivy and got a horrible crotch rash.
Panel 3
Bentley:
And lately we have been wandering around in a vapor filled wasteland searching for a wise-cracking bug.
But now you are doing something that’s just not natural.
Panel 4
Monroe:
I climbed this tree and I’m not getting down
Bentley:
Exactly.
Just when you thought you’ve seen it all.. a turtle climbs a tree.
Thanks for dropping by Dawn,
It’s not a really big tree, but the concept of a turtle climbing a tree just struck me as really funny. The question now is how to get him out of that tree. There certainly isn’t much in the way of food up there.
Perhaps a flatulent frog with a bushel of poison ivy could convince him. Great stuff JK!
Thanks Marty,
You may be on to something there. Of course there is already so much toxic vapor in the air in this wasteland that I suspect frog gas wouldn’t even register. Currently I’m leaning toward an earthquake as a possible solution.
