Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 14, 2020

If music be the food of love, I brought you some bland tofu.

Great…. I’m out of beatles jokes.

And just after the recent Owl House episode where the lead character also was oblivious to a crush. Yeah also a Lumity fan:-).

Wow. In the last two weeks, I’ve read all of Phoebe and her Unicorn, 2012-2020. I’m finally done. My journey ends here.

Bass a me mucho, baybee!

El bajo, el instrumento del amor!

Little advice, Phoebe: Don’t try the bagpipes.

Phoebe probably shouldn’t have tried “Dueling Banjos”.

If they were older, Stevie’s sentence might have sounded naughty.

Aren’t Phoebe and Stevie at that age where girls have matured enough to feel romantic love but boys aren’t quite there?

Phoebe. Try again!

No, that’s the piano, or the violin, or the harp, or better, the mouth.

Umm….the colorist has totally changed Stevie from previous days…?

No way. I am reliably informed that it’s “all about that bass.”

I’m just waiting for Ferny to become jealous of Stevie.

Ah, young love…

I dunno; I think a bass can sound alluring. But it might work better for a boy courting a girl.

Good luck, Phoebe.

I know a lot of girl bass that would disagree …

Am I the only baby-boomer here? Everybody knows that Paul was the cute one! (Also, I played bass. But by the time I met my future wife I’d switched to opera, anyway.)

Her expression is perfect in each panel: Fearful, tentative, hopeful, back to reality.
