Strictly speaking I think it is not a real toon shader. It is just a lambert were I raised the diffusion. The outlines were added in a photoshop composite, they were done in maya vector.
Thanks for the comments guys!

I love this image, you've done a great job with the pose and the expression, it really puts forward what the character is feeling...poor little bugger.
