Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 23, 2019

Isn’t she concerned about the potential diseases unicorn muzzles could carry?

He can not handle the magic of a human lick.

All he can see is… I suppose black and white polka dots.

“I can’t believe it’s not butter!”

well, that lick on the nose must have been pretty convincing

Good Idea!

Excellent!

And then human paramedics had to be called, and Phoebe’s parents had to explain to police how all the psychedelics got into her system.

Also, this is one of the very few fanfics I’ve ever read and enjoyed, in which Pinkie Pie discovers unicorn horns have candy flavors and sets out to taste each one, regardless of the consequences: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/222685/1/unicorn-horns-are-made-of-candy/delicious-candy

Wonder what Unicorns taste like… Cotton Candy maybe?

He’s flummoxed because his first kiss ever turned out to be even grosser than he imagined.

Well, she sure has him licked.

Nice one. It doesn’t carry the hostility of punching, tweaking, or even doing a “Beep!” noise while touching his nose, but it’s just as shocking to him.

Phoebe traumatized him.

Now I really want to know what unicorn noses taste like. And is it individual, or do they have a general flavor as a species?

Hope didn’t have a runny nose!

She really licked that argument!

I had felt disgusted upon seeing the third panel of the cartoon.

Now he’s convince that Phoebe is a dog.

That’s probably better than all the other suggestions I was seeing yesterday. :P

“If there is no conceivable evidence that would change your conclusion, then are you actually being skeptical or just irrational?”

Her being real isn’t the case I think. It’s Marigold’s declaration of her being a human being. At least now Eremurus can take into account only those creatures that would dare lick a unicorn on their nose. Probably a short list.

How many licks does it take to get to the candy center of a unicorn?

Nothing like more epic unicorn faces.

No way!!

This is the one instance – in his entire millennia-long lifetime – in which Eremurus Crystalline Fetlocks will have any physical contact whatsoever with another living creature. (Not sure if it’s because of his denialism or that beard though.)

HAHAHAAA!! That was a literal LOL right there!

Yesterday he wasn’t claiming that Phoebe didn’t exist, just that she wasn’t human. She was a spell or speckled bridge troll, either of which could possible lick his nose, though i have no knowledge of the hygiene habits of bridge trolls.

UNICOOTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, Phoebe, how do his nostrils compare with Marigold’s?

WAY. TO. GO. PHOEBE!!!! You have struck a Unicorn speechless (particularly appreciated with this particular stuffy Unicorn!)

HUMAN COOTIES!!!

And somewhere out there, Ferny’s feeling jealous and doesn’t know why.

You won’t get any germs from licking a unicorn, here’s proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbYWhdLO43Q

Perfect solution! LOL

Clever, she’s developed an immune system stress test…

Excellent Idea Phoebe.

Whoa! That was, like, totally unreal!

Kinda like Flat Earthers: “Since the Earth is flat, any picture of The Globe — has — to be fake.”

what flavor is she?

I’da grabbed him by that idion little hipster goatee. And yanked. Hard.

So much BELIEF lies in that simple gesture…

Great! Now he’s gonna believe that humans are like dogs… :/

Emerurus is drawn in a way that makes him look endearingly unlikable
