He just needs more confidence.

Are those tears in Hodgeheg’s eyes in the last panel? Kindly snake has said the right thing.

I thought he had a cold ….

Well, at least the snake won’t try to eat him with all his pokey spikes.

I love the way Matt makes Snake such a sympathetic character….so many people are absolutely irrational about snakes. We truly appreciate the rodent control supplied by our local snakes, most of whom are totally harmless to people.

I always say the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time.

I get you, Hedgehog <3

slow down…. look at who you’re talking with….

Bless you, Snake! And, yes, that was good communication! Maybe Hedgehog needs to practice communication with, oh, an armadillo? No worries over spiking your pal might make it easier to talk?

Yes, snake, you have given him confidence.

These really do lift my day!

S-s-snake, that was s-s-so s-s-sweet!
