Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for February 14, 2013

And Dakota has lost her sense of kindness.

The noise Marigold is making is her anti-theft alarm going off.

Never say unkind things to the pointy end of a unicorn…

Did not know Unicorns could do that. Gee I hope she didn’t loose the valentine Phoebe wanted to send max, or worse yet, loose Phoebe. but what could a unicorn loose? ten pounds? her way? her temper? her lunch? her balance? her dignity? her place? her train of thought? her memory? her concentration? her focus? her honer? Episode? her wi-fi connection? sense of direction?

Well maybe it was some thing of actual vale? An apple, some sod, her roller-skates , her record, horn polish, library card,her pencil topper?

Maybe she lost some thing she doesn’t need like her car keys.

or it could be some thing we didn’t know she even had her Autographed photo of Lauren Faust, her talking parrot that sounds remarkably like Tim Curry, her grade school science fair working replica of a flux capacitor,her collection of living miniature shrunken elephants, her potted ficus named Charley or Plush talking Millie attached to the end of the key to her locker at the YUCA?

Also now we’re on the Marigold lost some thing plot what happened to Phoebe and her cards? Unless what Marigold lost was the cards? or worse yet, a magical gift that in the wrong hands could be a disaster!

Dakota; insulting a powerful magic creature – who once made you bald – isn’t smart.

Oh cool! A new plot! What could that be?

Her lost Happiness spell?

Its that feeling you get when you hug your horse (or unicorn).

Is her horn having a bad hair day?

So Dakota stole something from Marigold? I thought all Marigold’s stuff was attached.

Of all the things that I have lost, I miss my mind the most.

Hmmm. I’ll try that next time I can’t find the remote.

: D I love how you capture Dakota’s condescension, Dana! Her expression in panel three is superb ♥♥♥

No! your’s Dakota!

I would think jumping rope would be difficult with all of that hair.

Just had another very evil thought. If DAK gives MAX a Valentine with the understanding she will pay attention to him in exchange for his kissing up to her and treating his old crowd like dirt – only one in ten of the lonely geeks in the world would not start kissing up.

PHE is the one in ten. The same remark out of her mouth would start some friendly banter, and end in a new discovery about unicorns.

Feel it’s more like a geiger counter set for magic wavelenths.

Your comments are all so serious today; I just about laughed my head off at the EE oo EE oo part. What a mental image.

You guys are too harsh on Dakota. She’s not evil incarnate – she’s not a serial killer or a puppy kicker. She’s a brat. Dana Simpson has brilliantly made the most normal, common antagonist – she’s just a jerk. We are ALL jerks at times (hopefully not regularly). Remember how easy it is to slip into the role of jerk in real life, and consider how harshly you are judging a 7(ish) year old girl.

It’s okay to empathize will all the characters in a strip!

that kind of depressed me. A lot more then Buni did. Would be nice if Marigold showed up some place where she could have a more positive experience. Lio’s a good place to have a solid crossover but I don’t know if its more or less safe for unicorns then Buni.

New Unicorny theory #672 Maybe Marigold is detecting people who have been affected by unicorn magic?
