Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for October 31, 2015
Transcript:
Phoebe: All night everybody kept asking me if I was a comma. I'm CLEARLY an apostrophe. Marigold: It is a more familiar punctuation mark, to those of us who do not use contractions. In fact, we regard the apostrophe as an abomination, and your costume as a profound insult! Phoebe: You told me you LIKED this costume. Marigold: Oh, I do! I am just pulling your comma tail.

What about utilizing the apostrophe to signify possession (“Phoebe’s unicorn” for example)? Not unless they prefer “of” (“the unicorn of Phoebe”) instead.

It’ll look more like an apostrophe if you wear it again after you get taller, Phoebe.

At least Phoebe’s costume didn’t displease Todd enough to say, “rar.”

Would Phoebe bend over backwards to be a “?” ?

I looked back, and the last time Marigold used an apostrophe was on the 21st, “If we are going to a dragon’s Halloween party…”
(though it would seem more appropriately “Hallowe’en”)
