Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for March 30, 2013

This is a valid and serious (ahem) point.

… oddly, this is the same argument that was recently advanced before the Supreme Court on a certain issue.

I sense an uplifting speech defending the friendship. Not sure if it’ll be from Phoebe or Marigold.

Yes, humans are “icky”.Friendship is not.

I get the impression Marigold is a young unicorn (relatively speaking).

Humans are naked, lacking a fine velvety hide. Humans are hornless and completely without magic and to the sensitive nose of a unicorn they must have an awful stench. A proper unicorn could not possibly want to associate with such a creature. The very thought of it is too revolting to be tolerated. Just as humans are revolted by the thought of two individuals of the same sex …

I wonder if they make unicorn burgers

Just look for a blacksmith and problem solved.

…actually, i’m looking for “Lord Splendid Humility” to the rescue! I’ll bet he shows up in a bush somewhere to defend Marigold and Phoebe – being so humble an’ all…

Bigotry isn’t pretty or funny, no matter where you find it.

: )

so -everyone else was able to see strips between the ice cream cone and now?

This is trouble.

Same can be said about a lot of relationships between different species.
