This is #124, first published 15 Dec 16
A silly one, based on the fact that penknives always used to have (I don't know whether they still do) a spike which was allegedly for 'getting stones out of horses' hooves'. Despite knives routinely having this tool, I have never seen anyone run to a horse's aid with that spike at the ready. I'm not even sure whether boys are allowed to carry knives these days. Oh for the happy days before health and safety and knife-related violence.
What's more fun than a cuddle with a woolly critter?
Try completing a puzzle online - they have just the right number of pieces for a coffee-break challenge and you gradually reveal the cartoon.
If you like Yvonne then the good news is that you can support the author, buy the image to keep and avail yourself of some really useful kit, such as mugs, bags, coasters, mouse mats, postcards, greetings cards, even posters and prints.
Don't see the item you'd like with the cartoon you'd like? Just email me, I'll be happy to arrange it for you.
