Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for April 17, 2022

Is this meant to be a commentary on social media news? If so, this is a sweet comic.

Looks to me like a printout of the code for an early first person shooter.

Do we even want to know where she even got that scroll?

So, the unicorn version of Twitter, then.

This is funny if you’ve ever heard of “doom scrolling” … which a friend mentioned to me just last week.

Maybe the Doom in this case is them not getting their preference of birthday cake. Just a thought.

Luckily, Phoebe always carries a mirror with her.

Phoebe does make a great point!

This is why most of my time ‘online’ is spent scrolling GoComics (and other comics sites like it) instead.

“Real friends get you to look up from the Doom Scroll”.

We call that “Social Media” ;-)

You ARE a real friend, Phoebe!

Stephan Pastis is leaking.

From Amazon, of course

I could sure use a friend like that.

You were saying, Marigold? I guess looking at her reflection was just the thing to snap her out of it.

Phoebe just broke the fourth wall.

Not a bad strip for an Easter Sunday. Especially the last panel.

Yes, ma’am. Thank you Phoebe and Dana.

I don’t see my Doom Scroll until Monday morning when I first look at my work email

Yay!

Me looking in a mirror is a doom scroll all on its own.

Oh, just wuv this!

Unlike the Doom Book which lists all the assets of a country like England.

In our world it is known as “social media”

If only it were that easy to lift a human friend out of depression!
