Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for October 03, 2016
Transcript:
Marigold: That tree has wood nailed to it. Did someone find the amount of wood on this tree insufficient? Phoebe: I think it's for climbing. Marigold: Oh, I see. Having hands is not enough for tree climbing. Humans must have all the advantages. Phoebe: You sound bitter. Marigold: My only way into a tree is to jump really high.

Or they could be tree-drawers, which makes for a different interpretation of “in a tree”.

An old treehouse. Maybe it’s the same one Calvin and Hobbes used for their G.R.O.S.S. club?

Unfortunately she can’t levitate herself.

So much for the magical unicorn. They don’t have the evolutionary advantages that we have.

Don’t hate us because we’re beautiful, baby.

She’s done that before. In one early strip Marigold was stuck in a tree. IIRC, she told Phoebe not to ask how she got up there.

I wonder what’s the limit of her magic then.

With that deluxe piton on your forehead?

Dana has never nailed a step to a tree else she wouldn’t have drawn nails in the ends. Round tree, flat board, only makes contact in the center. BTDT.

Marigold, you always brag about the advantages of being a unicorn. Let humans have theirs.

Consider it consolation for our misfortune at not being born unicorns.

You’re a unicorn. You have the ability to do anything of which you can think. (didn’t want to end a sentence on a preposition…) Just think of yourself in a tree!

Jealosy from Marigold sounds really funny.

Just jump and forget to hit the ground. (Douglas Adams of course)

I hear the “upstairs monkeys” (that’s what i call them, “upstairs monkeys”) chittering in their trees all day… mocking me… with their squeaking ropes in the branches… knowing they they are lords and lordesses over my simple “downstairs monkey” ways…

Let me guess: NO tree houses in Unicornia… :P
BTW, Marigold’s not lying when she says she can jump really high. In fact, she jumps so high that she can get stuck on a branch! :P
