    Sad pictures of turtles getting straws stuck in their faces to encourage people to recycle is a thing.

    Title is perfect.

      Yeah, when they swim in the ocean that gets polluted with trash from people. In the comic the ninja turtle is using a straw as intended. I mean, if you use a straw how often did it ever get stuck like that in your face if you just used it to drink something?

        The punchline is absurd, and the title doubles down. I found it hysterical in its ridiculousness.

        The absurdism of the situation is the joke. As in, even intelligent anthropomorphic turtles can still be defeated by a plastic drinking straw.
