Comic Mint, your best source for rare, kooky, and classic animation art, is pleased to offer this blast from the past publicity cel featuring TOOTER TURTLE from the classic King Leonardo and His Short Subjects (also known as The King and Odie Show).

Every classic episode of the 1960 animated cartoon starts right here, with Tooter Turtle: 'Deep in the forest grows a tall, tall tree-which was actually a short tree that grew-and at the bottom of it sits a little cardboard box belonging to Mr. Wizard the Lizard." Tooter Turtle is hand-inked and hand-painted onto acetate and paired with a copy of the matching print background.

King Leonardo and His Short Subjects (also known as The King and Odie Show) is an American animated Saturday-morning television series that originally aired on NBC from October 1960 to March 1963. Each half-hour included a two-part King and Odie episode, with other characters featured in between. Tooter Turtle: The adventures of a turtle (voiced by Allen Swift) who has Mr. Wizard the Lizard (voiced by Sandy Becker) transport him to various settings only to realize he was better off at home after all. Whenever Tooter gets into trouble on his time-travel adventures, he cries out: "Help, Mr. Wizard, please help me!" The Wizard would then send Tooter home with this incantation: "Drizzle drazzle druzzle drome, time for this one to come home."
