I think that I shall never see a poem as funny as a tree.A tree who’s spreading limbs seem meantTo speed a climbing unicorn’s ascent…..Poems are made by fools like meBut only you can get me outta this tree.

Oh unicorn, Oh unicorn, a wonder to behold.With grace and poise you wander, and in my heart you dwell.
I just spent a week with my unicorn, climbing hills and crossing streams and though we did not climb the trees our hearts were still full filled.

I swear unicorns are part cat. Also I figured out how to make Todd, Ozzy and Milly in ScribbleNauts for the Wii U! Ozzy and Millie were easy. just fox parts on human bodies but Todd took some thinking. Now I have a dragon that shoots candy bullets but was fun to color. Best I can doo. Not a lot of ways to Do Phoebe and Marigold and have them not look like normal girl and unicorn, and I might do Dakota I just need an word that has long hair. The rest are all normal people. Well Flow might be fun. Unicorn, glasses, spiders. I might create that object next. any how good to see the comic up and all it just now reminded me its sunday.

The first panel would make an excellent all-occasion greeting card — it would work with pretty much any caption inside! How about it Dana…??

Ah, yet another—and delightful—example of the combination of ages-old wisdom and ever-youthful innocence that is embodied by unicorns! In the mortal world, goats (who resemble the small Nimbi unicorns) actually do climb trees. In nomadic societies that herd goats, they often climb up onto the tents just for fun.

I have the answer for this. It is called a chainsaw. Works everytime.

I like this because I think it shows how Marigold’s grown as a character. She seems to have done this mainly to impress Phoebe, showing that she cares what Phoebe thinks. She didn’t seem to used to at all.

Kinda puts the breaks on the whole idea that Unicorns are somehow related to goats.
John W Kennedy Premium Member about 11 years ago
Whether unicorns are /related/ to goats is one question, but there is no doubt that authentic unicorns are physically more like goats than horses. Just look at actual medieval art.
But I /do/ wonder whether Marigold can disappear slowly until only her grin is left behind.

Dana: (from JWK) But I /do/ wonder whether Marigold can disappear slowly until only her grin is left behind. How ’bout it?? It seems very unicornish, even though Alice only ran into one, I believe.
