I don’t get it?
Turtles being harmed by plastic waste is a common theme used to promote recycling.
Leonardo pulls something out of his ass and throws it at a horrified Michelangelo
Edit: corrected names and apologized to my 7 year old self
That’s Leonardo. Donatello is on Mikey’s right side (our left) eating pizza and looking confused.
Title doesn’t match the content, but maybe that was the joke and I am just overtired.
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.
