From one of my old sketchbooks. This was drawn in August, 2000.

This dude was probably inspired by one of a pair of characters I created with my friend Stephen a dozen years ago. They were Rabbi & Socrates; Rabbi was a giant tortoise with the head of — yes — a rabbi, similar but rather more hirstute than the gentlereptile above, while Socrates was a dwarfish version of the ancient Greek philosopher who rode around on Rabbi’s shell. Socrates only spoke in questions, and Rabbi only spoke to say “Ach!” (to which his yarmulke would reply, in a tiny voice, “Yeidel!”)
