Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for March 12, 2014

BLÄÄRT.

blart with long diphthong = [insult greeting secondary level, checking for invasion of territory status]

My first attempt at a Meme.

The Blaart of Making Friends and Influencing Creeple

Step II from the Blaart: Arousing the Eager Want so they won’t guess you’re manipulating.

Time for a goblin confab.

I bet this must be extra surreal to anyone just now stumbling over the comic.

I like how the stump makes him look like Yoda. I hope Dakota won’t be mad if he sells her out. Give him a sock he’ll spill.

She just want to be cool in front of other,s now that Phoebe knows how she is…

Love the expression on the goblin-I believe the interpretation should be “Can I dish on Dakota? Sit right down next to me honey!”

Any one remember the Washington personality who said “If you can’t say something nice about someone sit next to me?” Alice Roosevelt Longsworth springs to mind but I’m not too sure if that is correct.

That’s how I feel about Dakota and her little posse!

Oh boy.

Having been both an insider and an outsider of girl groups I can’t say how much I admire Phoebe’s handling of this. Her self-confidence without the currently popular aggression to go along with it is wonderful. And Marigold’s cool, “We need to consult…” puts the whole thing in the perspective it deserves.
