Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 09, 2016

Is it really a good idea you use ones horn as a marshmallow stick? It means getting your face close to the fire, and levitation would allow a greater degree of control over it’s position.

Humans have always been that way, Hyacinth…

Imagine Phoebe being friends with Hyacinth instead of Marigold. Then everything would be fine. Right?

Yes, for unicorns, dragons, and almost any life form on the Earth.

OMG! Today’s strip is just packed with goodness! The unicorns roasting their marshmallows, Phoebe and Hyacinth’s beginning relationship, and, well, Sue and the unicorns having fun with marshmallows! A whole new range of facial expressions too. Saved to my “favorites” file!

Hyacinth seems so much sweeter here.

I would rather put marshmallows in my nose than eat them. The things are disgusting.

Well…maybe there’s a…er…plus side. Unless, that is, you then stick your nose in the fire to toast them. I guess that might be regarded as a negative.

Not really Hyacinth!

I think that’s the first unicorn child (foal) I’ve seen.

I’m really sympathetic with Hyacinth here. Having shared a cabin with some, um, high profile (shall we say) individuals, one of them with unpleasant habits in the bunk over mine, I understand her dismay. It’s like having six strangers in your bedroom. In fact, “like” nothing; it IS having six strangers in your bedroom.

Look who’s talking. Marigold, you live with a human. Not your first option, but still.

Who’s the little unicorn?

Two of the three characters with plugged noses have their mouths closed. Pass-out contest?

Coincidentally, that is how dragons roast marshmallows.

So they roast marshmallows on their horns? The feel of the heat on their face must make it a bit uncomfortable… OH! And there’s the risk of their mane catching fire. Have they thought about THAT!?
