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

And definitely not like Epic Movie. That would blow.

Okay, so make everything like ancient Greek long-form poetry. Got it.

So MOM epic then?

Phoebe needs to learn to build some character.

can hardly wait what the joint birthday party (more heavily on Marigold’s half) will be like

Epic is to dad-epic as humor is to dad-jokes?

Phoe-ble

That has to be the worst way a child can insult their dad, second only to telling him that his dad jokes aren’t funny.

Her father is teasing her, he would let her run the party anyway she wanted to!

I bet his idea of “Epic” is a Nintendo Gamer LAN party. If so , yes that would be epic. Count me in.

Phoebe knows really well her dad.

Her dad is one of my favorite characters in this series. Pretty sure it would be how I am as a dad.

This must be planning for the strip’s tenth anniversary on April 22. Should be great!

Why don’t Phoebe and Marigold know that today is National Unicorn Day?https://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-unicorn-day-april-9/

Ya set yourself up for that one, Daddio.

So a birthday for characters above level 20?

A birthday party for 2? EPIC!

But Phoebe’s dad’s standards aren’t good enough? BRUTAL!

This has been the Epic/Brutal Report brought to you by Tom the Dancing Bug.

Maybe he could say "I made you epic. " And then Phoebe’s mom would point out “Ahem, I had something to do with that, too”!

In case Marigold actually invites a brontosaurus, the party should be outdoors.

Okay, this strip is one of Dana’s best ever. The character interplay, and their expressions in every panel, are just perfect.

Eon = 1 billion years.
