“A Message” (1993) Colored: 2017

"The turtle in this image is pivotal to the story, whereas when it appeared in The Lobby, it made only a cameo appearance, while on its way perhaps, to meet up with the ant.  A Message first appeared in Miles Russell’s 1992, Nonsports Illustrated produced trading card set, titled Dactyls. The following narrative, written by Miles Russell, appeared on the back of this card: “Appearing from a future time when once again the animals minister the earth, the ant delivers the axiom of hope to a desperate kingdom." - Rodney Marchetti
