Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for October 04, 2022

Do the compliments have to be honest?

“You ARE a unicorn!” Aannnd up in space she goes!

Almost got rid of robotic Marigold.

I’ve never seen ANYBODY quite like you! Your eye’s are so bright! Do you polish them? Your breath is like roses. FOUR roses…

The robo-Marigold is more like the “Talkie Toaster” of Red Dwarf. Though not totally fixated on toast or waffles.

“Your teeth are like stars, they come out at night” ;-)

“Your eyes are like pools, cess pools.” – Am I doing this right?

A pointy toaster?

Success in panel 2, sort of!

It launches my toast every morning!

You’re the best! Around!

Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down!

I see a problem here. Phoebe is too sincere.

Look, she’s trying her best…

And Phoebe’s dreams of being a motivational speaker crash down around her….

Maybe you can look at Pegasus or see if you can see Monoceros (Greek for “unicorn”) the constellations while you are up there but they are not as shiny or bright as you, Robot Marigold.

Why don’t the robots just compliment each other? Heck, they can keep right on doing so as they fly off together.

Might, not may. May means we don’t know if a thing already happened or not.

“For a fat girl, you don’t sweat much!”

Wait, wrong species, and I suppose that isn’t PC these days…

now, if ethan had said “you remind me of a toaster,”* that would have been a pretty legit compliment
