Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 15, 2022

I don’t think it works if someone doesn’t see you right away.

The hesitation lasted thousands of microseconds. To a robot, that’s a lot.

who’s in agreement that robotic copies of unicorns is getting out of hand?

At least RoboMari is starting to get Mari’s personality down. Also curious who owns the peacock last strip, but I suspect that wasn’t remotely the point and it was just fun to put mari up against a peacock.

Marigold had to take a second to give the right response!

Okay- which of you has this funny feeling that ‘Robot’ Marigold is about to try to “take over” ‘Meat’ Marigold’s existence?

She was just rebooting after that scare.

Let’s all agree to ignore Marigold’s momentary inelegance in the first panel.

Oh hey, we’re… still on this, huh? Is the robot at least going to use laser eyes or shoot missiles or something?

Hmm… wonder if RoboMari is a transformer? What would her transformed shape be?

Robot Marigold seems quite different from Marigold. Funniest.

The question here is:

Will Marigold be Assimilated ??!! … :)

“I find your lack of agreement disturbing.”

No, no, you’re supposed to startle with “Beep beep!”

Marigold’s reaction nearly made me fall out of my chair!

Excellent work in the robot shop.

Darth Unicorn: I find your lack of adulation… disturbing.

“I suggest that you get a faster processor.”

that was pretty good
