As a term of endearment, the little kids were often called "punkin". So the line, "I guess I can understand pumpkin head, but..." naturally crept into the book. The illustration took on a life of its own and kept growing until it is ridiculously large to be supported by that little hand. This is the first ink rendering of the idea. Later we added colored pencil and the ink really made it pop. It's still one of my favorites.
