Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 27, 2019

Alright, got the Google app open. What do you want me to look up?

Marigold added Phoebe’s name! It’s a miracle!

Wait – if Marigold is without magic, does that mean she can’t maintain the “Shield of Boringness” that prevents humans from reacting to the sight of a real unicorn?

If Mari makes a rainbow for someone she doesn’t particularly like, would that make her an arch-enemy?!

Where does a unicorn go to recharge on magic?

There certainly is a magic-recharge service station at the end of that rainbow.

Ask any leprechaun.

Honestly! These graffiti folk get everywhere!

How do you recharge magic?

Look up? But I have an UNICORN to look at!

That’s awesome, Marigold.

Yeah, I thought it was going to be something like this…she seemed to have decidedly less sparkles around her yesterday…

Rainbow Dash, eat your heart out.

Usually I tend not to comment when someone else has already commented what I was thinking. But this time I have to say seeing Marigold randomly pull off an act of true friendship is very touching.

Called it! Never would have guessed the reason, though. She even gave Phoebe the same-size font! (But still second billing; let’s not get ridiculous.)

Yes Phoebe, you REALLY need to look up.

Has anybody else read Niven’s The Magic Goes Away ?

Marigold’s name is first on the banner. :-)

What’s the rule? “Be nice to everybody”?

She had better have saved enough to keep the Shield of Boringness activated.

That’s so sweet of you, Marigold!
