Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for December 22, 2021

I don’t think it actually says there’s a horse. Just that that it takes one to pull the sleigh.

What’s the unicorn version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman?

I wonder if Marigold would think that this version is disgraceful too. “Oh Jingle bells, Mermaidman smells, Barnacleboy laid an egg!”

I had to read that before I could sing it. Music is so hard to capture in a medium that’s just reading. I imagine if this strip ever goes to TV or film it’ll have to add a LOT more content rather then be short jokes.

That would neigh-ver do, Phoebe.

Marigold’s favorite might be “I’m Dreaming of a White Unicorn.”

Go neigh and still not a member of the horse family? Hmm!

“Oh Unicorn, Oh Unicorn, where did you get your Beauty” would be a hit with her!

Disgraceful indeed. It only has A horse? Singular?! That’s it! Holidays are cancelled!

Today’s strip just sleighs me…

So that begs the question…

…do unicorns have their own version of “Grandma Got Ran Over By A Reindeer?”

I am absolutely loving this Christmas sequence.

I wonder how Dana would react if you went back to when she was putting out Ozy and Millie and told her that in 2021, she’d be drawing a record player for a strip set in the present day and dealing with a young girl.

And I also know I’m going to have to stop harping on them soon, because turntables really are a part of these kids’ lives that they weren’t at that age in some of their grandparents’ childhoods.

Wow-wow-wow, let’s not get intro controversies.

humans are like romans when it comes to christmas songs

… oh what fun it is to ride in a beat up Chevrolet! ;)
