From those of us aboard the Slow Train

Two tortoises, Hertyl and Spertyl, dressed in their spiffy Connect-a-Thon Tuxedo coats, are holding a large picture frame containing an image of a large bowl of candy-coated chocolates (actually they're Australian "Smarties" - older than "M&Ms". Across the bowl is the phrase "Thankls for the snacks (with "snacks" crossed out) err, the 'Thon". Between Hertyl and Spertyl, in the centre top above the picture frame, are the words "Hertyl and Spertyl just want to say".

It's a word play. Their last name (per Edison) is "Slowsky". You can "meet" the whole "family" on their home page.

Two tortoises, Hertyl and Spertyl, dressed in their spiffy Connect-a-Thon Tuxedo coats, are holding a large picture frame containing an image of the boot-shaped outline map of Italy depicted in the colours of the Italian flag. To the left of the boot is the word Team", and to the right is the word "Italia" — all superimposed over a background of red, white, and green (the colours of the Italian flag) on a diagonal. Between Hertyl and Spertyl, in the centre top above the picture frame, are the words "Toddlin' Tortoises support and uplift".

Hertyl and Spertyl support the efforts of Team Italia.

They also have spiffy sport coats - because this is the CoAT (Connect-a-Thon), not the CAT (Clean-a-Thon).

Two anthropomorphic tortoises, known as Hertyl and Spertyl Slowsky, are depicted as displaying colourful sport coats — the one on the left in sky-blue (or aqua), the one on the right in blue-purple.
