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

is this frenemy-envy?

Does she think that the goblins have chosen Dakota as their queen?

Hopefully the goblins don’t “collect” such things (especially via magical means), or Phoebe might have to be fitted for dentures upon returning home (magic replacement teeth from Marigold might make Dakota’s new magic hair seem tame by comparison)…

Okay, they have the Wizard and the Halfling, but if they are going to take on a tribe of goblins don’t they need a dozen or so Dwarves as backup?

Loooking forward to seeing the goblin hangout.

Please,, that when they arrive to the hideout there’s a mushroom that says: “Thank you, but the snoby girl is in another cave”

Maybe it’s not Dakota they want, Marigold…maybe it’s YOU. ( I keep thinking of the movie, ‘Legend’, with Tom Cruise and Tim Curry. )

Goblin Hangout: Quick Stop or a nightclub?

I see the gap…

Maybe the goblins think that Dakota is actually one of theirs. And instead of kidnappoing her, they actually have brought her back home? Oooooo.

“the local goblin hangout” Love it!

Oh, don’t worry Phoebe. Even goblins are cooler than you.

at that age you always want what you don’t have, at my age too, why wasn’t I kidnapped by goblins?

I see your teeth Phoebe.

Every one is good at some thing some one isn’t and no one is good at every thing. Maybe the Goblins loved her VLOGs or wanted her hair or maybe this was all just a mix up.

How could she be jealous when she has a Unicorn? Well maybe a little.

Maybe Dakota is holding the goblins hostage.

Entirely possible!

Also, @rpmurray, you have a most excellent icon. :3

So whattaya want, Feebs? Ya want Marigold to swap you for Dak?

Goblins stole today’s comic.

Maybe she reminded them of the Babe.

Almost 3 pm on the east coast and still no new strip. Why is hers often late. Everyone else manages to get theirs in on time.

Thanks, Dana… but why on Earth can’t Universal Press Syndicate have an employee whose job includes knowing when a strip is, say, an hour late and acting on it?

God, that must be so frustrating. I’ll make sure to spread the link when it’s actually up!

I’ve actually been wondering about how this process works. I was in the newspaper business for a long time and I know we used to have comic strips in hand at least a week — maybe two — before their scheduled run date, so obviously, the artist had to have them in before that. I would imagine Dana has to have these things in at least several days ahead of their scheduled run date, and from there it’s up to the syndicate. At least that’s my guess.

I’m sure the result will be well worth the wait…

Ahhhhh! I’m suffering withdrawal!

The Goblins have taken over the server! Help! There hacking the whole internet!!!

I think we got a Trick not a Treat for Halloween. no strip for 2 days.

I will be going into withdrawal seizures soon…
