Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for March 15, 2019

So, generosity is considered a fault in unicorns?

Unicorn culture doesn’t sound fun at all.

Without selfishness, we’d all be making ourselves dirt poor.

OH NO SHE DI’INT!!! (Snaps finger)

She’s good. She’s really good.

Okay, so Phoebe does know how to push Mari’s buttons, after all!

Great last panel. I love all the things Dana can do with Marigold’s face.

And that’s why I never get along with unicorns.

That indignant expression!

Marigold always walks the tightrope and hits the Goldilocks spot of being self-centered without (somehow! unicorn magic?) ever being obnoxious. Then again, if she’d never met Phoebe, she might be very obnoxious, indeed. (I freely admit that I never got the whole unicorn thing. My sister collects them, and when I helped her move, I labelled a box of the dang things “silly ridiculous horse-like objects.” Yet this is one of my favorite current comic strips. Why? The tightrope, the Goldilocks spot, and unicorn magic!)

Ah yes. just how I like it – Well done!

Now Sarah Silverman will come up and do four minutes of shocking and obscenity-laden jokes on Marigold.

What? This isn’t on Comedy Central?

“Unicornosity” sounds like a foot problem…

Wow!

Never seen Marigold so angry before!

And don’t forget, “Unconcerned about her glamor!”

Phoebe. How dare you!?

Now Phoebe’s getting somewhere. She must’ve picked up “How to insult Unicorns 101” somewhere.

Marigold’s face in the last panel looks like a meme. Good job Dana!
