Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 14, 2014

I said it the first time this ran, and I’ll say it again: That’s an adorably cute sheepish smile Mom has in the last panel!

A whole new meaning to “embarrassing parent(s).”

Nothing in the Life Rulebook that says all the “School Supplies” have to be exclusively for the kids – Mom can get a discount on stuff for her at the same time.

Do they have the Sharpie Oil-based Paint Markers yet? They cost almost twice as much at the Industrial Supply House.

Just because you’re doing some back-to-school shopping, doesn’t mean a mother can’t endulge a little for herself. I’m speaking as a mother who has recently done this. :)

Mom is as fun to read about as Phoebe.

It depends on whether they can afford both school supplies and art supplies at this time. Not that I don’t understand. I can get pretty worked up about office supplies, my favorite are the Cambridge quad ruled notebooks with the high quality yellow paper (sigh).

Shopping is it’s own reward.

Of course mam.

If she can “never” find acrylics in that color, how did she find them this time?

One thing I’ve liked and can’t find anymore is the legal margin notepads: where the left margin is one-third of the way across the page, which allows you to make summary notes in that left margin.

What happened to art class, Phoebe?
