This is one of my favorite comics. It was inspired by a real run in with a turtle in Florida. While at the dog park, I saw a huge turtle trying to make his way to the water. Unfortunately there were three dog park fences between him and the pond.

I didn’t want to pick him up. He was a hefty boy and if he was alarmed enough, I was afraid he’d jerk out of my grip. I snagged a recycling bin and coerced him. Then it was a simple carry to freedom. Kind of like a blue bin Uber for turtles. His thank you was inspiring this comic strip.
