Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for October 19, 2012

And after that, Marigold never actually got Phoebe to the piano?

Hmm. I just noticed one of these two looks like the Cool Ghoul…

That’s the best outfit she’s worn yet.

I love her outfit and I love how this comic has a unicorn as one of it’s main characters. There are so few media works where the unicorns are part of regular casts. I also like how Marigold is not vain enough to be a jerk. Though I would like for you to not turn her to that path. When this comic strip becomes a long-runner be sure to keep her personality consistent okay Dana, (if you are really reading this).

hey, it’s copacetic, man!

She’s wearing an acorn hat.

When she finishes playing, will he snap his fingers instead of clapping, like they did in all the cool places hipsters hung out in?

Playing the right notes at the right time isn’t enough if you don’t feel the music. She just has the cart in front of the unicorn.

start with passion.

I love the piano teacher’s smile in the last panel. EVERY character needs a little personality, and now we’ve finally seen some of his!

There is more to music then the look. But man that’s a great look.

The beret, glasses, and black sweater do not a musician make. Neither a poet.

BTW just made a Mii of Phoebe and the teacher

Oops! She forgot to practice.

Only practice makes a pianist. But there are shortcuts like starting with chords instead of scales. Your music geniuses like Mozart LOVED to practice as children. Us normal mortals had to be pushed.

She’s got the look!

those who can do; those who have teach. God bless the child that got his own.

Inspiring young people seems to have utterly crushed the piano teacher.

Whoa, it changed.

Phoebe just joined the 4/4 beat generation.

i think that piano teacher only sticks with her for the entertainment

the piano teacher doesn’t look as evil here…

(not that he looks evil later, just “piano-teacher evil,” which is really just mild sadism… that your parents pay for)
