Bone/Heartwarming

• Fone Bone and Thorn hugging each other while in prison and again at the end of the series.
• Fone Bone accidentally blurting out his feelings to Thorn when he's rescuing her from the Hooded One.
• "Dear Thorn, I know that I am short, bald and have a big nose, but I like you a lot! Signed, a secret admirer xxxooo."
• Bartleby's first appearance. Heck, most of the scenes involving Bartleby, especially when he's with Smiley.
  • Of particular note is Smiley's expression when he, Phoney, and Gran'ma Ben are backed up against a wall by a herd of Rat Creatures, with no hope of escape, and one of them sits up on his hind legs (exposing his uncropped ears) and tilts his head in recognition.
  • From Treasure Hunters:

Smiley: You know Bartleby, I never had a pal like you before.
Bartleby: Me either!

• Bone making a quiche and giving it to the rat creatures in celebration of the Winter Solstice. "Peace on Earth, fellas!"
• Anything Phoney did early on that showed that he really did care about Fone Bone and Smiley.

Phoney: You can blame me all you want, pal, but you watch your mouth when your talking about my cousins!

• • He also shows this later near the end, when Gran'ma Ben offers him a chance to go home via a shortcut tunnel. Phoney's response?

Phoney: I'm sorry, I... I can't leave without my cousins.
