How tall are the Turtles?

I picked up a copy of the Tales vol. 1 treasury the other day, and in reading through the first couple stories it struck me that the Turtles--at least in these issues--are portrayed as being really short. Unless I'm to assume that April is built like Sigourney Weaver on steroids, the first issue makes it seem like the Turtles aren't much more than three-and-a-half to maybe four feet tall. I always figured their heights to be right around 5'0" even.

Should I assume, then, that this is just artistic license, or are they actually supposed to be that short?

Of course, since they are teenagers, it's always possible that as the stories progressed they continued to grow.
