Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 14, 2016
Transcript:
"My unicorn in summer takes me everywhere I go The normal places, plus the ones a unicorn would know. I'll pack a lunch, 'cause I have taste that's pickier than she She'll forage in the forest greens, with salt (to taste) from me. My unicorn in summer runs like lightning down the shore And even when it wears her out, I laugh and beg for more. For nothing beats a day spent with my bestie in the sun (And not to mention going fast is tons and tons of fun!) The days are long, but night must come and usher me to bed My friend will offer me her mane to rest my weary head. Her hoofbeats are the lullabye that carries me to when My unicorn and I are gonna do it all again.

Is Marigold walking on water without getting trapped by her reflection?

Of course Averagemoe. If you didnât notice, Marigold is dozing off from a hard day. No matter how narcissistic you are, you canât ignore the bodyâs limit.

This is the sweetest comic strip to date.

A real tribute to Calvin and Hobbes if ever I saw one!

This one, while itâs a repeat, never âwears outâ for me (ditto for the âPhoebe as a princess of suburbiaâ [in Marigoldâs words] and âMondayâs mare through Saturdayâs unicornâ ones). All of these âpoetry with picturesâ installments would make great greeting cardsâand the one whose theme is fall would also make a wonderful greeting card, appropriate for that upcoming season (which is a rather âthinâ season, âgreeting card-wiseâ)!

I love this strip for the sheer poetry of it! :)
LtPowers over 8 years ago
Iâve always loved Danaâs poetry because she makes sure to get the meter right, while still including her trademark whimsy and emotion. (Just like Bill Watterson always did.)

The water might not be still enough in the final panel to get a good reflection either!
