Today we published Princess Pricklepants Presents issue no. We hope you enjoyed this comic, even with a subject matter that wasn’t very hedgehog-centric, and with a rather abrupt ending. Perhaps a Princess Pricklepants, Ornithologist will be coming up since we’ve discovered we really like drawing birds. It turns out we really like drawing bees and birds.
