Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for December 23, 2020

I mean, what’s the threshold here? There’s no perfect clones of her all the way down to identical fingerprints.

Those grins! Someone call Batman. We’ve got a couple of little “Jokers” here.

well, we’re all unique in our own special ways

There’s like, a million ways to spell my name, so I get excited whenever I meet someone who not only has the same name, but also has the same spelling. Just recently I went to the optometrist and the doctor who saw me shared my name and it was awesome. ♥

Wait! Max knows about Marigold???!!! Is he immune to the Shield of Boringness?

“Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.”

- Margaret Mead

Where’s that Unique-orn when you need her?

Null hypothesis: disproved!

“Welcome to the scientific method.”

(senses sarcastic and unnecessary dialogue)

Good point Max. Now Phoebe is in trouble with herself.

Phoebe doesn’t seem to know that “unique” is a absolute adjective, i.e., it can’t be modified. Degree is a grammatical property of most adjectives. Normally, there are two degrees of comparison: comparative adjectives and superlative adjectives. There are some adjectives, however, such as “dead,” that do not lend themselves to degrees. Known as absolute adjectives, these cannot be formed into comparatives or superlatives, and they also cannot be modified by intensifying adverbs such as very, extremely, pretty, or rather.

Max just confused phoebe. Another milestone in his life.

The other dimension Phoebes don’t count? https://www.gocomics.com/phoebe-and-her-unicorn/2019/03/30

Not sure whether Phoebe’s back teeth are gray or just shadowed.

I used to work at an elementary school library. A little girl came up to check out a book and I asked for her name. She replied, “My name’s Kayla. Isn’t it unique?”

Annoyed that she didn’t tell me her full name, I accessed the checkout database. “This school has 7 Kaylas, 4 Makaylas, and 1 Mikayla. What’s your last name?” She had to take a moment to get over her shock before she could tell me.

Incidentally, there was another girl at the school whose first name was literally “Unique”.

I TOLD YOU YESTERDAY!!!! And yes, that COMPLETELY disproves your theory since you are a one-of-a-kind creature. Hopefully you find one like you that will prove your theory.

You test a hypothesis, becomes a theory is if it is working.

As far as I am aware there are no gradations of uniqueness. That may change in the future.

imagination kills knowledge….

Leaning in close.

she totally knows another phoebe… “phoebe bridgers”
