Naked Turtle? →[More:]I need a cartoon picture of a turtle without his shell, possibly looking longfully at the shell. Anyone know of anything?

Well, the turtle in the old Bugs Bunny 'toons used to jump out of his shell regularly, if I remember right. Bugs and he raced on a couple of occasions. I'll take a look on Google, or you might try a simple bugs bunny turtle image search until he (mebbe) turns up nekkid.

Churchy La Femme in Pogo got out of his shell a few times, for fun.

There are a few turtle cartoons here, some turtles out of their shells, but none with a wistful turtle.

This turtle seems happy to have left his shell behind.

Maybe you could use this guy and find a shell that would work...?

Oh, I found the Looney Tunes turtle, but it's not a great picture. His name is Cecil Turtle.

CECIL! Now I remember.

"Ayuh!"

Been waaaay too long since I saw those 'toons. Why isn't there a Bugs Channel?

I feel so exposed

That has always kinda bothered me a little - the shell is an extension of the spine.

Shane, search YouTube for "Looney Tunes." Heaven awaits.

Wow. One way rehabbers fix cracked shells: Bondo!

Thanks, mudpuppie!
