You gotta hand it to him.

could come in handy

Because it’s not his arm.

He’s evolving.

ODDBALL FACT: If you cut a starfish in pieces, each cut piece turns into a new starfish.

He so handsome now he the star of the show.

I gotta hand it to him!

It has fingers.

Yeah, but you’ve got to hand it to him!

Evolution

Concern?!  I’m HAPPY!  With this cartoon hand I now have an opposable thumb.  I’m movin’ on up the evolutionary chain!

A hand on a starfish is just pointless.

either he’s growing a hand or he’s gone fractal

“One, two, three four, I declare a thumb war! In the country of the thumbless, the one-thumbed echinoderm is king!”

Hope he can grasp the seriousness of the situation.

Evolution.

Let’s hand it to him.

This is a great cartoon. Let’s give him a hand.

to paraphrase B.C. starfish got hand and anyone who don’t like it gets cuffed

Doctor needs new glasses. He just can’t grasp the situation in front of him.
