Stone Soup by Jan Eliot Wally: Hey, Alix! Want to walk to the park? Alix: SURE! Wally: We'll see if the turtles have come out of hibernation. Alix: Turtles hibernate? Wally: They bury themselves in the mud in creeks and ponds, to sleep through the winter cold. Wally: They slow their metabolism so their hearts beat just once every 10 minutes...and they can breathe through their skin! Alix: WOW! Holly: Nerds of a feather... Val: Walk together. Alix: ?!

Right now in the classic strip, it’s showing how Joan and Wally gradually got together. I missed the whole story first time around, so I’m really enjoying it. She started out not being at all interested in him romantically, and is only very gradually coming around.
