Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for March 14, 2013

I didn’t know they had snails that big.

This collision took hours to develop!

Bats have shells?

They weren’t even going fast enough to set off the airbags.

If he decides to sue, does that make him a tortious tortoise?

It all happened in the blink of my eyes!

And a face in the dirt between the two shelled critters.

Yes, and the snail shell face looks rather crumpled too.

And, some faces in the shrubbery, too.

It’s a new fable from Aesop! “The Hare, the Tortoise and the Snail!”

The snail’ssss es-car-got wrecked by a litigate tortoise.
