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

It’s easier than making robot doubles of humans. Fur is easier to fake than skin.

Or maybe use magic to clone yourself?

He should be called the Clone Arranger.

But he’s a MAD scientist, so they will be killer robot doubles. 4-legged Terminators. “Hasta la Vista, Phoebe.”

This is already shaping up to be one of the best stories in the comics history. Which is a tall order given we’ve had non-binary unicorns of death, sea monsters, and steve, the gorgon unicorn. But “every unicorn gets a robot double because the one mad science unicorn suggested it” is up there.

Who is the mad scientist Unicorn? Should be good!

Why not just try holographs? Guess that wouldn’t be UNICORN ?

Those bucked teeth. I pictured the voice of Jerry Lewis by way of The Simpsons.

I think the mad scientist unicorn is already a double robot and wants to make other robots to replace the originals.

That brown Unicorn strongly resembles Llewellyn.

All together now…

“What could possibly go wrong?”!

Yeah, build a bunch of robot duplicates of narcissistic unicorns so that they can have a big war over whether the originals are prettier than the copies. That’s a good idea.

…Holy crap, it might be. Unicorn Wars. UNI-WARS!!! Hay-eaters in disguise

I, for one, welcome our robot unicorn overlords.

So this is what lead to the war of unicorns vs mermaids.

“Angry! I am an angry scientist!”

What could possibly go wrong?

Thank you, Dr. Buckaroo Banzai Fetlocks.

Unicorn logic at its finest.

Flawless logic…..

So, is that “mad” scientist unicorn supposed to be beautiful?

Interesting to see the different mane and coat colors.

Why not just make stationary dummies and put them in front of reflective surfaces?

Mad scientists must have gotten a memo amongst themselves to wear those glasses. They’re in fashion, like pointy hats for wizards. Professor Farnsworth from Futurama, Dr. Mel at Brewster Rockit, and now it’s spread to the unicorn.

Emphasis on the word ‘mad’. Did no one see this as a potential issue??

Show of hooves: who else heard the Mad Scientist Unicorn with the voice of Prof. Farnsworth from Futurama?

A MAD SCIENTIST UNICORN???? [faints with delight]

Glaven

pop stars also have robot doubles…

(Botany Spears, Turbo Dua Lipa, etc…)
