Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 25, 2016

Belgium, the world’s funniest country to namedrop.

looks like Marigold ain’t impressed

And it looks like they reran a strip again. I have this one in one of the books.

It worked in the Doctor Who mini episode "Time-Crash!:)

Belgium just might split along cultural lines, Walloon vs Flemish basically Germanic vs French.

You win the award the most gratuitous use of the word “Belgium” in a comic strip.

Just wait until Phoebe is done. I believe Marigold has a few things to say to her.

Belgium? I hardly knew ’em! …OWWW! NOT THE GROIN!!

Rerun again :-)

Huge comic industry there.

Funny then, funny now.

Homage to Rene Magritte? After all, drawing where the unicorn isn’t sounds like one of his compositions.

What language in this strip! Belgium should only be used in serious plays.

Belgium, man. BELGIUM!

What a ghent…

Language, Emily! Don’t you know how rude that word is?

Belgium is the Best! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtbFvPt_ylc

This reminds me a bit of a scene in the British comedy Outnumbered. Somebody says to the little girl “When you grow up, you can be anything you want to be” and the little girl replies “How about a triangle?”

Belguim where they invented Freedom Fries

You know, this really is absolutely adorable. It’s not something we see very often in media—-a mom and her daughter doing this kind of thing together. It’s not formal instruction, exactly, but nor is it pure recreation. It’s the kind of loose, casual “apprenticing,” for lack of a better way of putting it, that could only transpire at home between a parent and child who genuinely like one another.

It’s a just a sweet little depiction of ordinary family life that’s refreshingly quiet and genuine.

Marigold: (thinking) Not exactly a chip off the old block… :P
