Richie can not decide if he wants to have a duck or a turtle for a pet. His parents give him a surprise companion who is a combination of both. So starts the adventures in “Turbie the Turtle-duck” by Rich Arons. The two characters meet a lot of interesting and odd creatures like the propeller-gator, Hippio-Copter, elephant mice, or Pea-Cocker spaniels. ”Turbie the Turtle-duck” is told for kids but adults can enjoy the goofy characters just as much. Aron’s artwork reminded me very much of “Tiny Toons” or other present day cartoons. I later found out, that’s because he worked on many of the modern cartoon shows including both Tiny Toons and Animaniacs.
