FABLES 113 puts the spotlight on a few of the background characters who've appeared here and there throughout the series.
Back in issue 96, a unique turtle appeared for all of two panels:
This issue, the origin of the Turtle Who Carried a World in a Teacup on Her Back:
She was a queen who betrayed her husband, a powerful sorcerer-king. He turned her into a turtle.
The origin of Kadabra, of Fabletown's enigmatic Thirteenth Floor:
So he settled down in Fabletown in the mundane world and became a professional stage magician. And that's how he remained until his murder by Dorothy Gale in the modern day.
The origin of the Porky Pine:

And Bellflower looks gorgeous.

PS: Amazing how despite all the ultra-sexualization of so many women in comics it's rarer for me to find a pic like this which makes me stay speechless for a bit than other people finding one of a sexy male. Just goes to show that sometimes that sexualization does avoid getting an appreciable middle ground.

That and the lack of high heels or shoes at all. I'm sick of those in whatever caption I see as a quick and ugly approach to some kind of sex appeal.

That turtle story was neat too.
