Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for December 20, 2013

ooo woo wooo

So reflections don’t work if there not perfect? Lets take Marigold to a fun house!

also called it!

Isn’t there something about intelligence and recognising one’s own reflection?

Love love love Marigold’s expressions in Panel 3!

Marigold is so adorable in this strip. X3 I mean, more adorable than usual.

Scientific fact, Unicorns can’t recognize its reflex if this is distortioned.

@ DanaToo cool. What child has not done this? Even as an adult, I’ve done this.Strips like this is one of the reasons that I love your work so much,

Oh DEAR, Marigold has gotten another view of herself! Poor unicorn! Poor TREE! First the audacity to sparkle and now a clearly malicious distortion of unicorn perfection. TOO MUCH!

I hope we’re going to see Marigold outsparkling the tree on Sunday — full glorious unicorn color of Marigold, triumphant over the uppity, sparkling, malicious tree.

The tree is just jealous of your beauty Marigold.

Good one Phoebe.

Finally, a reflection she DOESN’T fall in love with.

There’s the mirror test in general, and there’s the Mirror Test. In the Mirror Test, you put a mark on the subject’s face, and look to see if it reacts to the mark. Only a very few species pass that. A larger group, including some dogs and some cats, can say, “Oh! There goes the red ball behind me!”.

I love this kid.
