Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 24, 2017

gee, Marigold has a lot to learn about humans

dewclaws? antlers? exoskeleton?! Um, exactly what monster manual is she reading the ‘human’ entry in, anyway?

Marigold doesn’t have most of those either. It’s not the most astute observation, but the bar has been set pretty low.

Okay Marigold, she gets it!

And so they’re both a lot like Phoebe’s dad.

What is in that soup?

Noticing the obvious doesn’t count.

I always enjoy Marigold talking to Phoebe’s mom.

No antlers? No dewclaws? No exoskeleton? Gee, I was fine without all those things. Until now. Now I feel….antler-dewclaw-exoskeleton-deprived. WAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Uh, point of order. Today’s tops can conceal a lot. Do they click when they walk? That’s the real question…

No antlers? No dewclaws? No exoskeleton? Gee, I was fine without all those things. Until now. Now I feel….antler-dew claw-exoskeleton-deprived.

Maybe that’s a Leng thing. In the so called “Land of Dream” in the ancient country of many secrets Leng has some oddities in its animals, plants and peoples. Some of their deer have shell backs, others have a kind of extra covering not unlike an exo-skeleton which they need when the spiders hunt them. Don’t get me started on those.

I don’t know about exoskeletons or dewclaws; but antlers are sometimes optional… 7@=Q

(There have actually been a few cases of human “unicorns”, though…)
