This is the most radical departure from the original here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/32078518/

I really wanted to do a more 3/4 view and in my concept the camera was a lot farther out. But thanks to the enlarge tool, I was able to focus on the important bit of the picture, and I like this a lot more!

Ah, Friday, the final day of a fun and productive work week, nothing like returning home triumphantly with a sense of accomplishment!

Five Minutes ago:
Thistle: "Stoopid thorns, stoopid trash, stoopid pitchfork, stoopid, stoopid, stoopid..."
Thistle's mom: "Thistle, come home, it is time for supper!"
Thistle: "Supper? waitaminit, if I play this right, maybe I can get ice cream for supper!"

Present:
Thistle: *sniff, sniffle* "M-mommy? D-daddy? I-i-its thorns and forks and pop and..." *sob* "I need ice cream to patch meeeeeee!"
(Thistle's mom is smart)
Thistle's Mom: "Awww, you poor dear, you look like you had a rough day. Don't worry, mommy has something special that will fix you right up!"
Thistle: "Yay, ice cream!"
Thistle's Mom: "A nice big bowl of fresh yummy cauliflower! It will make you big and strong and puncture resistant!"
Thistle: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" *deflates*
Thistle's Mom: "Honey, would you please get the pump?"
Thistle's Dad: "Yes, dear."
Thistle's Mom: "You may have ice cream after you eat your supper."
