Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for April 22, 2022

Is Florence planning the classic “Got your nose!” trick?

Did it look like that when Florence found it?

Happy tenth birthday, to both Phoebe and this comic as a whole. (I don’t know how old Marigold is, but we know she’s at least as old as the last ice age, since she remembers when there was a glacier in the place where Phoebe’s house currently stands.)

It’s crazy to think that in just a few months, this comic will have officially outlived Calvin and Hobbes. I honestly hope Dana ends this comic while it’s still good like Bill Watterson did, and it doesn’t go on for decades and become stale like Peanuts and Garfield.

Someone get that unicorn a tik tok account

Disappointed in myself and the rest of us old timers reading so far:-D.

Yesterday’s strip was about Sue starting a song and discussing when she would finish.

And I only responded to a poster recently that we should have acknowledged “This is the song that never ends, for it goes on and on my friends”.

The perfect response really.:-O

“Heavenly Nostrils! Get yours today while supplies last.”

If a spider crawls out of one of those holes, Florence might have misjudged whose nose it looks like.

She get this at Amazon?

Well, not for nothing her name is “Heavenly Nostrils”

Florence is a good sister.

Florence is a fantastic sister.

Hey Mari! Your nose rocks!

Y’know…unicorns really can be pretty easily amused.

Happy 10th Birthday Phoebe! Happy Birthday (tomorrow) Dana. My all your next years be even more fun and heavenly than the last.

Thanks for ten wonderful years of this strip. :-)

I wasn’t here from the very beginning .. but close; I was pointed to Heavenly Nostrils by a friend in May of 2012, just a few weeks after it’d started. HN quickly became a favorite, and was the entire reason I’d purchased an annual subscription to GoComics .. where this strip has always been at the very top of my daily reading list.

I also have a complete collection of the books, and very much look forward to the upcoming animated cartoon .. but this daily comic strip remains the ‘touchstone’ for it all.
