Anatomy of the Beast of Busco - Sheldon® Comic Strip

TITLE: Anatomy of Monsters: Anatomy of the Beast of Busco

DESCRIPTION: He’s a really, really big snapping turtle. His body is yellow-orange with spines all over. He has a beak and claws. His shell is green and spiney. He sits spanning a two-lane road, a bent stop sign under his armpit.

JOKES:
- He’s a legendary, MASSIVE snapipng turtle seen in Indiana over a 130-year period!
- (Which in Indiana years is like four basketball dynasties.)
- A neck that says “Bring Captain Solo and the Wookiee to me.”
- LIFE ISN’T GOING GREAT when your legs look like overstuffed burritos.
- He’s not snapping, YOU’RE snapping! Everyone back off! He’s had a DAY!
- Claws have the energy of a guy using a hunting knife to butter English muffins.
- “A delightful dish with good mouth-feel.”
- (pointing to previous joke) Him, as he eats your car.
