Fuzzy-Wuzzies & Prickly-Wicklies

"A Warm Fuzzy Tale" is a story written by Claude Steiner, a Clinical Psychologist Professor. His book had as a goal the teaching of children that acts of love cost nothing and are worth giving. Chris, who might have read the book (or had the book read to him), felt the need to include those pieces of wisdom in his comic and his "Future Message":

“	War is never the answer; peace is. Never fight. Compliments will get you fuzzy-wuzzies. War gets you prickly-wicklies... as well as punches. They get you those, too. Thank you very much, and have a wonderful day.	”
Christian Weston Chandler

Fuzzy-Wuzzies

According to Chris, Fuzzy-Wuzzies are the reward for paying people compliments. The benefits of gaining fuzzy-wuzzies are unclear, although there is surely someone out there who can describe the consequences of paying Chris a compliment. In any event, fuzzy-wuzzies are surely preferable to the noxious prickly-wicklies.

Chris is probably unaware that "fuzzy-wuzzy" is also a racist term for the Hadendoa people.

Prickly-Wicklies

You're apt to find plenty of these accompanying Prickly-Wicklies.

Prickly-Wicklies (not to be confused with plain old pricks) are the undesireable end result of going to war, according to Chris-Chan. Although doubtlessly making perfect sense to him, Chris fails to elaborate on the consequences of this forfeit. Prickly-wicklies could therefore constitute anything from scorn for engaging in combat, to painful, prolonged death in a mustard-gas clouded barrack. Prickly-wicklies are also known to give people slugs, as opposted to their antithesis, fuzzy-wuzzies, which give people hugs.

It should be noted that Chris couldn't follow his own advice and declared war numerous times, such as in the War Paint Video. He must be swimming in prickly-wicklies by now.
