Transcript:
Marigold: Phoebe! Phoebe! Disaster has struck!! On my way here, I heard someone say "oh my, what a lovely unicorn"! Phoebe: You being praised is a problem? Marigold: A tremendous one! Phoebe: Have I fallen into a mirror universe? Marigold: I sense a great disturbance in the magical shield of boringness.

This somehow cannot be good (feeling a great distance in the magical Shield of Boringness).

Let’s not get hasty. Start by finding out who said it and in what context. It could be a mom praising her daughter’s drawing, and having nothing to do with Marigold at all.

At least it’s only weakened. If it was broken, the reaction would be more like “Holy s**t, a REAL LIVE UNICORN! Gotta take lots of photos! Gotta alert the media!”

The Shield is failing, this could mean that magic is failing and if magic is failing then magical beings may just fade away… OMG this could be potentially disastrous!!!I believe in fairies!!!

There could be another, even worse explanation: There might be another unicorn in town, one even more lovely than Marigold!

That sounds like a Star Wars reference.

From my point of view, being noticed is not a bad thing.Of course, i don’t have a horn sticking out of my head.

The first sign of a coming apocalypse. A bad mane day is the second…

She needs to borrow a Somebody Else’s Problem Field Generator from Zaphod Beeblebrox.

I thought the problem was that the phrase “lovely unicorn” might imply some unicorns were not lovely.Maybe it’s not the Shield; maybe someone just saw first season Twilight Sparkle.

Someone probably just saw a painting or a ceramic unicorn in a shop window…

I think that the MOST logical thing is that Marigold has simply been using her magic too much for her best friend and all she needs to rest her magic for the “Shield of Boringness” to be back to full strength. So in my opinion, this will be a short-lived panic session. :)

Not everyday you see Marigold in such a panic.
Also Phoebe, it can’t be a mirror universe, nobody has any beards.

Dana, you have done an incredible job here. How could one imagine a unicorn’s panic expression? And you have done it masterfully. I love the S-F references — and two in one strip!

I guess it must be better than a disturbance in the FORCE (shrugs).
