Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for June 10, 2018

It’s a curse. She has her mother’s tail.

I always wondered if these poems were a reference to the ones in Calvin and Hobbes. It’s great to see the characters directly acknowledging them.

Zecora would be rather impressed with this poem.

uh… yeah

Couldn’t she just MAGIC the cookie jar down? Or better yet, conjure up the best-tasting cookies ever (MOM’S!)

Aha! That’s what Nancy and Sluggo need: A unicorn! https://www.gocomics.com/nancy/2018/06/10

Have a blessed day my friends.

Does Phoebe want to be a boy?

How about “Nothing we try that we can’t” ?

Comic strip poems. You gotta love ’em.

“I wish I had a magic horn

She envies me my slacks

When swiping many cookies

Sneak through loophole’s many cracks"

If Marigold had an udder, she could play chords.

All she would need to do is separate the tufts of her tail.

I forgot that according to Marigold, unicorns used to wear clothes regularly until a magical accident. I’d sooner have expected Phoebe to envy Marigold’s ability to not got in trouble for nudity.

Dana, panel 1 would make a good cover for your next book.

Why couldn’t I had a unicorn when I wanted cookies from the shelf?

Phoebe’s look in the first pane is pricelessly crackadelic

Phoebe’s mom: AHA!

Phoebe: Uhh… it was Marigold’s idea…

Mom: SURE it was…

Marigold: (whistles innocently)
