Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 16, 2021

I love those old corny sitcom theme songs too.

Maybe Marigold rewound time so it’s 2012 when the strip wasn’t in color.

Drawn in front of a live studio audience.

What’s your favorite sitcom theme? I think “The big bang theory’s” theme is catchy.

Lol, this sounds like the “Psycho Dad” theme from “Married…With Children.”

Think I heard the laugh track. Well cue to commercial break where Folgers is being advertised by mentioning that there’s no way them wimen folks can mess up your coffee. Yeah the Folgers ads I saw on YT were sexist:-D.

Just as long as she doesn’t take cues from another magical character on a recent Marvel show on Disney+ who also had an obsession with old sitcoms.

good question there, Phoebe

Who’s the unicorn with the most, those other guys should give up the ghost, now she’s famous from coast to coast, Heavenly Nostrils our glittering host!

Hopefully Marigold does. But the question is will she?

I haven’t seen this show since it originally aired, but:“Who charms the crabs on Fisherman’s Wharf right out of their shells?Who lights the lights of Chinatown just by walking in view? Who?Phyllis, Phyllis, Phyllis — it sure isn’t you!” (in memory of Cloris Leachman)

I like it!

I can think of a unicorn who might enjoy WandaVision.

I think the theme of Agatha Harkness fits you better.

It reminded me of part of Donald Duck’s very ironic theme song:

“Who’d never dream of starting a fight?

Who’s never wrong but always right?

Who gets stuck with all the bad luck?

No one but Donald Duck."

The part about Donald’s bad luck may not be ironic unless you see Donald’s disasters as the result of bad temper and bad judgement rather than bad luck.

The line about restoring colour to the woods is very good. I had assumed it was night time but it turns out to be day and this is part of Marigold’s homage to classic sitcoms.

“A horse is a horse, of course, of course,

And no one can speak to a horse of course,

Unless of course, when the horse,

Is the unicorn Marigold."

It’s been Marigold All Along!

I can imagine Marigold’s theme song as a ripoff of “Bewitched”.

Why bother, Phoebe? Just imagine it’s nighttime.

But The Mary Tyler Moore show WAS in color.

I like that she was considerate enough not to mess with Phoebe’s color.

I tried setting it to the Reading Rainbow theme. It didn’t work very well.

Sleep Country Canada! why by a mattress anywhere?

DING!!

(Car commercials…)

They are called sitcoms because the standards and practices people censored out the “h” between the “s” and the “i.”

Who can turn the hues off with her smile?

Marigold does look lovely today.

Marigold’s been Horsin’ Around.

“Filmed before a live studio audience!”

Marigold, you wanna sing don’t stand next to something that is glass. You might bresk somrthing.

Feels like a tease

There is no else who loves herself more than Marigold.

That look in pane 2, tho…Sing us a funki tune next time, MG :D

She’s singing the tune to theme to ‘Psycho Dad’! It works. I can’t un-hear it!

I somehow missed this strip. To me, it’s a hidden gem!
