Now, now, Phoebe, be polite. We all get to have our names pronounced as we wish. Plus, remember what happened when a certain frenemy of yours was gifted with magic hair by Marigold. Yeessh!

This strip (not this particular one, but all of them) is one of my top three or four favorites. It’s also one of the few I enjoy reading all the comments, especially kaykeser’s.
