And to think Bill Watterson came up with the most interesting words. Take “transmogrification” for example.

I thought unicorn was already a word.

I bet Unicorns invented all the best words, Palindrome, onamonapia,Llama…ellipses. Also If any one can use that coupon, what if it fell in the wrong hands? I hop thats good just for Phoebe and that she doesn’t use it inadvertently. That would be the joke Anime would use however.Im just glad this isn’t one of those stories where the magical one is like always calling the human master and getting in trouble and theres 7 other magical ones all fighting for attention. I love the genre but its good to have this strip be what it is.No matter how often I try to change it in my head. Still it does open up a chance for that wish to be used any time, not just this week.Im shore as Phoebe is a kid she’ll do some thing foolish or careless with it.

Spell coupons! What a concept, but wouldn’t some kind of magical coupon cell phone App be more appropriate?

That isn’t Unicorn, it’s English. The ability to create new words to adapt to a constantly changing world is why English has become the worlds most dominate second language. They even speak it in Marigold’s home dimension.

If I could turn invisible, I would smite mine enemies.

The amazing thing is, despite eight syllables, it’s the best word I can think of for that. And there’s no question of what it means.
Q4horse over 11 years ago
In English, nonsense words become standard when enough people use them in the proper context.

it’s like a portmanteau, there are 2 meanings packed up into one word….the question is whom is to be master .- H Dumpty

If PHE is about to learn the difference between wishing to be invisible and testing invisibility – a coupon is the best answer.
