I’m not seeing a truck.

At least it is not just inches per day.

Ever see a tortoise tack?

Guess I will be the one to ask – where is Dookey suppose to stand now?

I should try that with my Honda.

What do you do if the wind blows in the opposite direction, tortoise?

I would think for a tail wind, a square sail or a spinnacker to be more appropriate, huh?

Ah, another land yacht.

Super. While you’re on the beach John, pull in your legs and dune-surf. Your tail could act as a rudder and brake! :D

Even though his feet move you can’t see his tail wag one inch. So how can he expect his little tail to generate some wind?

Try tacking like land yachting folks, but too close to the wind is dangerous and may well tip you over.

Of course with a headwind, tacking is plain murder

“No, but you were thinking it!”

Needs a crow’s nest.

Don’t ask. Don’t tell. Don’t care.

As a kid I some times wondered how fast I could get moving if I attached a sail to a bicycle.

what is the point of that if you walk?

Careful, you’ll get pulled over for speeding.

I suspect the “tail wind” brings him some relief…oh, not that kind?

if he were wearing a pair of skates on his feet it would make sense but that is why he isn’t.

It’ll never fly, Orville.

But what happens if the wind doesn’t want to go where you do?

So – they showed a whole day’s progression in those 3 panels?

“And Dookey, keep your snide comments to yourself. This baby’s got a plank!”

Put a layer of turtle wax on your belly, when the wind picks up draw your feet in……zoooom

How did he get it on top of his shell??
