Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for February 10, 2014

Do Unicorns perform uncontrollable random magic surprise spells when they Sneeze and create unpredictable hijinks? Or do they just look cute?

No phoebe, you did not follow the protocol: when a unicorn is about to sneeze and they cannot complete it, their friend must complete the sneeze for them.

Darn!So close…

Uh oh, I hope she doesn’t have a cold! As we learned on “Bewitched”, magical beings and colds are a BAD combination!! (Is it time to introduce a new character, the Unicorn equivalent of Dr. Bombay?)

Unicorns wouldn’t get ordinary colds, they would only be susceptible to magic viruses. Of course those might effect computers and cell phones as well.

Concidering the spacing and size of Marigold’s heavenly nostrils, she may need more than just “a” tissue. Oh, we might finally learn why her nostrils are so heavenly!

wonder if she blows it out her horn? I’ve heard it’s the only way to keep nostrils heavenly.

Her sister sneezes spiders.Has it bin established what Mary sneezes?

Panel 1; “Behold my splendor! Uh, never mind.”

Try looking at a bright light, Marigold. That always works for me

You’re just a tease all around Marigold. _

I see now.

Marigold sneezes splendor.

That first panel is about as low on splendor as Marigold gets.

To sneeze could please and ease the seize of your wheeze but such is only a tease, Jeeze Louise!

There was once a strip from ‘Gil’ (which sadly came to a close at the end of last year) on a similar theme. The first three panels show Gil making peculiar faces, and in the fourth, he says, “I hate losing a sneeze.” A widespread sentiment, and understandably so; I always feel so cheated when that happens!

SPARKLE! SPARKLE! SPARKLE!
