Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for December 13, 2022

“Well then I guess we’re done here.”

So they could travel to the past literally, but wouldn’t it be much more fun to see it view master style?XD

I heard that in the book, the Ghost of Christmas Past was described with such a confusing appearance, the first illustrator refused to even try to draw it. Something about it being hard to tell if it had ten legs or just one.

It was something about Atomic Fart Day last year.

Ebenezer Phoebe.

More like the ghost of Christmas-not-yet-seen

Calendar function says different.

Mari’s hair looks like Dana’s hair.

Shouldn’t you be bugging Dakota?

Liking it!

Looks like Mari’s horn has got a bit twisted. Unicorns have prehensile horns?

If you don’t change your ways, Phoebe, nothing will happen!

The stakes have never been lower.

Actually we have seen Marigold with Phoebe at Christmas before. As Phoebe was nine and has now turned ten, we must assume that they were all the same Christmas.

I think I can see how the encounter with the Ghost of Christmas Present is going to go.

.

“Human child! Did you know that it will be Christmas soon?”

“Yeah.”

“Excellent! …would you happen to have any artisanal hay?”

…I don’t think these unicorns have really thought this through.

Marigold was pointy. Pointy as a doornail . . .

punchline has ME giggling!

This isn’t Marigold. See the novel:

“You have never seen the like of me before!” exclaimed the Spirit-corn.

“Never,” Phoebenezer made an answer to it.

“Have never walked forth with the younger members of my family; meaning (for I am very young) my elder sisters born these later years?” pursued the Phantom-corn.

“I don’t think I have,” said Phoebenezer. “I am afraid I have not. Have you had many sisters, Spirit-corn?”

“More than eighteen hundred,” said the Ghost.

“A tremendous family to provide hay for!” muttered Phoebenezer.

It appears Marigold may have other sisters besides Florence Unfortunate Nostrils.

Poor Phoebe’s going to be tired tomorrow.
