Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for November 06, 2012

They don’t have to vote, they get to vote.

My uncle never carried his Naturism to that extreme…

I really did laugh out loud.

Equines do not need to vote. They negotiate politics by other means. They already know their place. The humans only think they are in charge.

I’ve been reading this strip since the beginning, and I think it probably the best drawn of all the new ones to come along lately. And I agree with “baleyeman42” please don’t go political.

I don’t think we have to worry about Dana going political with this… Phoebe and Marigold are just discussing topical events. (When I get to the polls later today, I’m going to smile, thinking about Phoebe’s uncle…)

Anybody here old enough to remember when Exxon was Esso? Remember the “election campaign” between the tiger and the ad manager?Just for the fun of it.

…i doubt it – it just happens to be election day in the states…they aren’t talking political, they are talking voting…

That wasn’t my plan. However I urge people to get out and vote.

Really Phoebe?

I think the distinction between “have to vote” and “get to vote” is probably lost on someone Phoebe’s age.

Less said about your uncle the better Phoebe. Though it would be ok to take your cloths off at the polling place if you were a poll dancer who just used wrong terminology. Still trying not to think of that image. Question 2 however, whose side of the family is he from?

It might improve the turnout if more people went to the polls naked, but I don’t think that will be necessary this year.

The upside, Phoebe, is that nobody gets in your face trying to win your vote. Not many political ads on Nickelodeon, I bet.

Dear God, Phoebe, I understand Marigold, but did we have to know that about your uncle, too? xP

I was listening to the radio today – one of the callers said they went to the polls wearing a t-shirt with their favored candidate on it, and were turned away (rudely). So he went back without any shirt and voted. Yay weird uncles!

The politics dropped off after she started doing I Drew This.

Honestly, don’t any of you remember child/parent English? I suppose some of you have never been parents, but all of you have been children.

“Dear, Mommy and Daddy have to go to Uncle Tex and Aunt Destiny’s party, so Mrs. Crabwithers will be baby-sitting you for the evening.”

Reminds me of a “Family Matters” episode where Steve mentions his Uncle put on a Santa hat and went out caroling, only to get arrested. As Steve clarifies, the hat was the only thing his Uncle wore.
