Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for November 21, 2012

Phoebe should have known better than to ask.

Phoebe should have pointed out Monoceros (Μονόκερως).

I don’t know why she’s pointing with her hoof (uh, paw?) — she’s already pointing with her horn!

Its about time they took a moonlight ride. The hide of a unicorn reflects so well in the starlight that Marigold would not sully this vision of her beauty with those silly scraves and leg wraps. I’m not surprised unicorn lore saw no reason to place many humans in the sky, considering how ruthlessly humans hunted and killed unicorns during the middle ages, using fair maidens as bait.

A unicorn named Moe? Somehow that doesn’t sound very unicornish. Does he do slapstick?

Marigold’s expression in panel 4 is priceless. And I burst out laughing at the “blobby pinkish cluster”!

i thought all the Mares were on the moon.

sorry.thats all i could come up with this morning.

“Aye”? So we were correct to guess Marigold speaks with an accent. Would it be Scottish, like in Brave or British like Alex Kingston?

I’m afraid she can’t help you on that one.

Oh yes every one knows the many legends of the brave and noble Moe. All the things he did to earn his place among the stars. I’m sure some one out there knows a few of the.

Actually this reminds me of a joke that was in a movie or some thing. I forget what one. ……Oh yah Shrek and Donkey.If Ogres are like onions what are Unicorns like?

My late father-in-law was named Moe, actually.

Tomorrow I will have an especial reason for giving thanks . . . and that’s because of Dana, Phoebe and Marigold Heavenly Nostrils. (I’ll add Dakota, too, just so she doesn’t throw a snit ::grins::)
