Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for March 16, 2015

…and, I’m not a bunny…

And this isn’t a comic.

Semi-interestingly, the actual translation is more like “hospitality cat”…

@rexvivatI agree. SMBC should be classified under that in-between category that’s reserved for comics too blah to even bother with. At least if it was bad, that might be interesting. This is NOTHING (yawn).—I’m not talking about Phoebe’s strip. I’m referring to the link provided by rexvivat.

“The lord high steward drew a deep sigh of conviction. ‘I believe it!’ he made answer. ‘I have always declared you were a wonderful dog, and now you prove I am right. Why, you are the only dog I ever heard of who could talk.’

“‘Except in fairy tales,’ said Ruffles calmly. ‘Don’t forget the fairy tales.’

“‘I don’t forget,’ replied Tallydab. ‘But this isn’t a fairy tale, Ruffles. It’s real life in the kingdom of Noland.’”

—L. Frank Baum: “Queen Zixi of Ix”

I think so.

And I am not an engineer. Wait aminute! From a certain point of view that is true.

Um, Phoebe? You are a cartoon character.

I’ve noticed Phoebe has a lot of different outfits, unlike other comic strip characters who only have one. Is there any reason for that?
