Jimmy, you’re stuck with this one!!

Good Morning Thom

Saw a dead porcupine on the road this weekend while riding ATV’s in the dunes this weekend!

Love the headline on the newspaper (and the rest of the comic is funny too)

hair of the dog…so to speak..

Look like father needs new classes

Hey, maybe I should be offended. Maybe Thom is “poking” fun at us dog lovers?!

What say you, Thom?

Doc, now I’m offended that you are trying to take the offensive upper hand! This offensiveness has got me on the defensive now!

Isn’t there a “special” category for these types of cartoon artists?

I had a friend who had a pet skunk once. It was a sweet little thing, used a litter box just like a cat, too. Of course, it was descented!

For sure, nobody can say that today’s strip was pointless!

was that skunk decented from heaven?

Dad, stop poking fun on Jimmy.

Jimmy can never be accused of not getting the point.

Hey son, better get some Nyquill, you’re been on pins and needles lately.

I don’t get it. Brain’s going slow I guess, could someone explain it to me?

That dog’s breed is not recognized by the American Kennel Club.

Unless it’s a Wirehair Pointer?

maybe it’s an Irish Shedder?

Doc, that is one ugly cat.

“See the needle and the damage done…”

Apologies to Neil Young.

That dad sure made his point about Jimmy wanting the dog not him.

that is one painful pet. i think i will pass. I want a pet skunk please! Doc LOL a Hippo, they are cute i guess.

We had a ferret for years. A lot of fun. A skunk should be good too. You might have a problem finding a vet that knows how to deal with exotics.

That dog needs to be trimmed. That’s what happens when you neglect your animals!

Jimmy should write about his experience. He has an endless supply of quill pens now.

That’s a porky pine.

Well… uh… the good news is that Jimmy won’t be needing to go to an acupuncturist when he’s feeling stressed and the sort.

Looks like he’s got all his needles up to date too!

I think his dad may need glasses for more than reading the paper.

Jimmy, just put him down - then you’ll get your real dog! Mind you, you’ll be picking out quills for a long time - out of its nose, mouth, ears and everywhere else. Ouch!!!
