Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for March 30, 2015

Transcript:
Phoebe: Dad, can my unicorn be allowed inside?
Dad: You have a unicorn?
Phoebe. We met in the woods today. I skipped a rock across the pond and hit her in the face. After that, it gets weird.
What a cool (re)start! It lands us right in the middle of the story. And I love Marigold’s smile! Great variation on “She followed me home! Can I keep her?” :)
Oh so many years ago reading O&M I was thinking what a shame that this hadn’t happened. Seems that now it has. Finally. (Adds to the congratulations queue)
I’ve been a fan since Heavenly Nostrils first appeared. I’m happy to say that my local paper [Register Guard – Eugene OR] is one of the papers now carrying the strip. They do compress it a bit to fit. I guess you don’t merit full width like Doonesbury yet.
YAY! As promised, “Phoebe and Her Unicorn” appeared in our local paper, the “Daily Breeze” this morning. The "Breeze ran a full column in Sunday’s issue announcing the new comic strip. I do not recall them ever doing that for any other new strip. So, multiple congratulations, Dana!!! Hooray! Well deserved!(By the way, for me it will always be “Heavenly Nostrils”)

It begins! That this strip will be in over 100 publications is a bit surreal to me.

Marigold is taking Phoebe’s description of her as Phoebe’s unicorn very well, all things considered..:-)
