Topic: I need a cartoon name

I need the name of a well known cartoon character - one that young children will know - that has spiky hair, like a hedge hog. I decided to write a picture book for my granddaughter, 4 y/o who grew her first sunflower this year. The bugger topped out at 9.5 feet tall and the center (where the seeds are) is almost a foot across! I'm using the photos my daughter in law has posted to Facebook. I'll make this book a Christmas present or something. This name will be something she says when she first discovers the new bud. A sunflower bud is really spiky, like our old hedge hog cartoon characters. I'm so far out of touch with what kids are watching these days I don't even know where to start!

Thanks tons

Maggie Simpson comes to mind. There are several others, but they belong more to the Manga set.

I think you should just call it Spike

Or, better yet, let her name the flower.

Sounds like Sonic the Hedgehog to me, from the old Sega games. Don't know if kids today will know him, but everyone who grew up in the 90s did.

You probably can't go wrong with Pikachu:

He is the flag ship of the Pokemon fleet.

Just call him Porcupine and they'll get the point. Take care. Vern
