Just don’t point him in the direction of any balloons.

He’s not looking too well either, he may be spiking a fever also.

i must have missed the point on this one. sorry Thom

Or maybe the fact his dad is a porcupine has something to do with it????

Good Morning Thom Thom

I like all these pointed comments.

That lady has a simple taste in art.

So that’s where street urchins come from?

Good one Digital Frog! Otherwise it didn’t make much sense to me - sorry Thom;-)

Just think, it all started with a little prick☼

It’s just a phase he’s going through…next comes the liquid phase?

That’s one sharp lad and he has several good points about him

His real name is ‘Hans, My Hedgehog’. (Check the Bros. Grimm.)

Hello Marg!!!

I like all of the legitimate points that are being made here! Some very sharp comments indeed!!

yyyguy & vldazzle,

I’m sorry you both didn’t get the point of this toon. It was a jab a pediatricians and childhood phases. Personally, I went through a bumpy phase as a child, but more to the point, my brother went through a phase where he only played with sharp objects.

I’ll try to make the point better next time.

Hi TRIBE!!!

Thom Thom

Prickly heat!

Because he likes to dress sharply.

I figured it was a play off of “going through a phase”, but I was confused since I had never heard of someone only playing with sharp things.

Would that make it an acute phase?

EXCELLENT Coyoty! Thom Thom- I think we got your intent but we offer other viewpoints. If it hurts, that is the way the pun ish meant. Shame on you for leading us into the Point

Excellent one there yourself Goodquestion!!

Goodquestion,

Thank you for pointing that out. I feel duly PUN-ished.

bmonk -

You got the point. I’m sorry if it seemed like I was trying to stick it you.

Thom Thom

@jfri all i can say is that has to hurt.

thom thom hope your doing well, just wanted to say *HI*

oh and how could i forget The lovely Carmy you were on a role, was that the point?

All I can say is:

Aaaaaaarghhhhhhh!!!!! It hurts!!! Mama, make it stop!!

As Davy Crockett said about Sam Houston in the remake of The Alamo: “That said…he’s a mite prickly…”
