Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 01, 2022

Can she laugh, cry, or love? Robots can’t do any of them according to SpongeBob.

Let’s hope it’s not like those evil robots that had to be taken down by a certain blue bomber.

Behold my shiny metal splendor!

I wonder it Robot Marigold will rust if it is caught in a rainstorm.

tin canny, Phoebe?

Only in attitude, Phoebe!

The ones making these things couldn’t afford paint?

This is SO stupid!

Gasp! Identical!! Let’s hope it’s not an evil robot.

I think it’s just a matter of time before Mari asks this robot to hoof it!

it’s so lifeless-like.

Heavy Metal Unicorn!

Mmmm, I like her.

Like looking in a mirror. So… uh, get ready to pull these two apart.

Which one is the robot?

Did robot Marigold escape before they put her skin on?

Are those sparkles or sparks?

Okay this is the clunky kind of robot I hoped it’d be. I mean still sleek enough to bea robo mari but still far bellow what she likely expected

they shoild have had her chromed so she would be shiny to Marigolds sparkly !

So, tomorrow does Robot Phoebe show up?

How does the mad scientist unicorn manage to see Lord Splendid Humility in order to make an appropriate double? Or is a horn to stick in bushes all that is needed?

Will Robot Marigold dance to that Electric Zoo song that Mr. Krabs said went “Bee boo boo bop, boo boo beep”?

I fear that this can only end with someone calling someone else a clinking clanking clattering collection of caliginous junk.

Tomorrow it will rain, and we’ll hear Robo-Mari squeaking “Oil can! Oil can!”

Is that a Hitler salute?

I, for one, welcome our new unicorn robot overlords.

I know this would’ve been less accurate, but I was hoping it’d have a cyclops eye.

Yeah, this is pretty much what I imagined when robot unicorns were brought up.

So is Marigold’s robot double named “Marisilver”?

Just hope that the three laws of Unicorn robotics is heeded:

1. A Robot Unicorn may not surpass their corresponding Unicorn with magnificence or through inaction, allow their Unicorn to feel overwhelmed with magnificence.

2. A Robot Unicorn must obey the orders given it by their Unicorn except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

3. A Robot Ujicorn must protect its own magnificence as long as such magnificence does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

It’s R2-D-Mare. Or is that U2-Pio?

I can bet it can sparkle brighter and longer than any living unicorn.

Robot unicorn! I want one! Does Elon Musk need any organs? I can spare a kidney and a lung.
