Tagline: "Touché, away!"
Plot summary:
In 17th Century France there were a lot of women who
needed saving. Thanks to the magic of Hanna-Barbera,
queens and maidens fair alike were saved by a turtle with
a sword and his friendly dog. As the zoological
stereotype for slowness, it makes perfect sense that a
turtle would be put in charge of musketeering, a job
which involves swinging and climbing onto and up things
quickly. His assistant, Dum Dum, was best when Root Beer
flavored.
Touché was later resurrected in the seventies as part of
"Yogi's Gang," a group of Hanna-Barbera
all-stars and rated rookies out looking for treasure. I
say "resurrected" because the God damned turtle
lived like four hundred fucking years ago, so much like
Jesus Christ and Darla before him Touché was godlessly
brought back to life and used that time to do nothing.
More recently, Touché Turtle taught me that you can make
the é on your keyboard by holding the "alt"
key and typing 1, then 3, then 0 on your number pad. (more)

Comments: If
you're going for "musketeer turtle" the hat is
key, and having him naked makes more sense in regard to
mobility than putting him in a poncho with a fleur de lis
on it. I do think that they could've tried a little
harder to come up with a better name for him. It's as
easy as giving a rapier to the horrible voice-over lady
on VH1 and calling her "Rachel Parry." The only
upside to "Touché" as a first name is it's
high specificity, so outside of calling him "Mortis
Tortoise" you've got no better option.
And as a character, I guess it's better than having a
Communist turtle who is quick with quips about the faults
of your mother called "Red Snapper."
