Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for October 28, 2022

Marigold looks like she drank too much at a party.

“I took it and gave it to Marigold because she’s paranoid. Sorry!”

On all levels except physical, Marigold is a unicorn with a lampshade on her horn.

Wait, no she’s that on the physical level, too.

anything until the Shield of Boringness goes back online

I’ve worn a lampshade a few times. I’m always the life of the party when I do.

Marigold lights up a room.

Oh for goodness sakes MariOLD find a top hat or sombrero, or something deep that is still a hat.

Or as a joke I would say just cut off the horn and let it grow back.

Of course I don’t know if unicorns can regenerate their horns in this story world.

Their horn is possibly like a fingernail.

Once a certain amount is cut off it won’t grow back.

Or can they regrow it like deer antlers?.

I don’t know Dana please tell us.

Some shady dealings going on…

Suddenly Marigold is the life of the party.

Yep, certainly some shady dealings here!

She also has to stop talking, which I think for Marigold will be the hardest part

Instead of being paralyzed with amazement at seeing a unicorn, people will mistake Marigold for an ordinary talking animal.

They’ll know. They’re your parents.

They’ll know when they see your Instagram.

Phoebe, even if you don’t answer, they’ll still know that you took the lampshade.

Phoebe throws shade on Marigold’s horn.

Is this going to start a fad of unicorns wearing lampshades?

So now we’re totally lampshading Marigold

First the Roomba, now this. Better not touch the video game console.

I was hoping they would use a cotton candy holder which would make her horn look exactly the same, as rendered in a comic.

Look almost like a fancy hat.

ETHAN: “Honey, we’re missing a lampshade here.” EMILY: “I’m calling Phoebe now. If Marigold does anything to crease or stain it……….”

i like wearing a lampshade
