Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for January 21, 2023

“Rude” coming from a rude girl.

“That sounds like a personal problem.”

“Yes, and you’re the person.”

Ooh, just wait until the tail stays.

Phoebe just had to encounter Marigold and then wish they’d be friends forever. Anyway, guess we’ll stay tuned until Monday on the goblin-girls’ endeavor on Engelblart’s manuscript.

Dakota is still Dakota!

Blart

I’m sure this loses something in the Goblinese/English translation.

Translation- Blart! Blart! Blart! Blart! Blart!

I love this arc, it’s hilarious

Admittedly, Dakota’s got a point with that—that IS a “you” problem, Phoebe.

And she’s probably right that someone ought to talk to Marigold about the whole “ask permission first” matter for things like this too, but then we wouldn’t ever have fun situations like this in the comic anymore, and where’s the fun in that? :P

Well, Phoebe, the obvious solution is to let her sit on you a few times.

“It was really rude of your unicorn,” said the pot to the kettle.

Dakota would make a great therapist to someone who doesn’t need therapy.

I think Dakota looks better as a goblin.

I have long loved this comic strip, but I have to say that this particular arc is jaw-droppingly good—funny, unexpected, insightful.

It’s not clear whether Phoebe asked the first time she sat on Marigold.

C’mon Dakota, it was for helping a friend.

You gotta blart somewhere!

An entire strip of “blart.”

I love the fact that goblin Phoebe still has her freckles.
