Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for April 27, 2022

All the way up there with X-Ray vision that you can’t turn off.

By now they’re gonna be asking where the birthday girls are.

Wonder how bad the sound of dripping water was.

Just think about how Matt Murdock feels, Marigold.

Something to chew on

Not only do squirrels chew LOUDLY, they do it with their mouths open! I have observed this. Their lips aren’t long enough to stay closed, but they don’t even TRY!

I’ve heard what it sounds like when a betta chews. Didn’t need super hearing for that, surprisingly.

I have thought the same since the movie Encantó, super hearing must be super annoying

Superman must be able to turn his on and off!

Rogue has a few words for you… Actually, there are any number of superheroes and villains with way worse powers. We should probably just close that can of worms and walk away.

every superpower seems like a nightmare after a while, to be honest

Dolores from Encanto would be eager to explain why that is.

Like Dolores in Encanto. Super hearing when you have that many people in one house? pass me please.

Time to use the invisibly spell?

“Is a squirrel chewing really that bad?” “I confess, I lied. I could no longer stand to hear everyone digesting food. It was like a hundred bubbling cauldrons. I could even hear your father, and he had just consumed an inadequately microwaved burrito.”

No, super dribbling is, which is why Superman wears red shorts outside his blue body suit. Being as he is the Man of Steel, this prevents any rust stains from showing.

Suddenly I’m reminded of an anime. Kotoura-san revolves around a girl who reads minds but she can’t turn it off.

That would really suck if you had it for your entire life.

Anyone reminded of the classic Twilight Zone episode “Sounds and Silence”?

You think that’s bad, imagine having to hear a millipede that won’t stop tapping its feet.

If you were born with super-hearing (or other super power) you would consider it normal. Gaining it temporarily, like magically, is the problem.

I think super smelling is worse.

Except maybe for super scent.
