Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for February 09, 2022

Why not? It’s more probable than a flat planet.

Depending on how well inversed Max is in geekdom, he might need to tell Phoebe that planets can be characters. Looking at Ego and Mogo.

We’re going to need the best space travelers for this mission. Kirby, Star Fox, Han Solo, Captain Kirk, Wander and Sylvia… Who else?… This could take awhile.

Of course, Marigold, of course!

That’s no moon.

Let your imagination go wild, Phoebe.

the planet could just be an oat that fell on to a telescope.

Well, Kurt Russell played a planet not many years ago, and he got a lot out of that role.

Just don’t get your horn stuck in the moon.

Wait a minute. Phoebe the unicorn searching for Marigold, the elusive ‘Planet Oat’?

This is gonna turn out to be a game of ‘Hide-n-Seek’, isn’t it?

Hah, anything to get attention. But she’s right. Not all planets are round shaped… or I’m confusing it with moons.

Her reasoning is much like Russell’s Teapot. To be honest, there is no proof that a teapot doesn’t orbit the Sun between Earth and Mars.

If planet Oat is the most perfect planet in the universe, what does that make planet Unicorn?

It’s that shiny star-like object that can be seen to the left of the Horsehead Nebula (which is really a unicorn with the horn obscured):

So Phoebe is searching for a planet?

“Very careless, Phoebe is. Lost an entire planet she has!”

Or maybe it has only continents shaped like unicorns. Like in Centaurworld.
