Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for January 24, 2023

Hey, sometimes you just gotta mix it up with boring stuff.

I didn’t think goblins had a word for the concept of embarrassment.

Meanwhile with Marigold and Engelblart…

She maybe the only goblin female with wavy red hair. If the other goblin males start making a fuss over her looks she may decide being a goblin isn’t so bad after all. As long as she gets attention.

Translation:

“Blart BLART blart blart! Blãrt BLAAÀART!”

“Blart blart, Blart blart BLART blart.”

“Sigh… Blært. Blart!”

“Blart blãrt.”

I wonder if a goblin from France speaks with the same blart as an American one

It’s not homework. It’s more of… a chore. Although come to think of it, they’re sort of the same.

You look cute as a goblin, Dakota! (Keep telling yourself that)! It’s only temporary anyway!

Before library e-books were available on Kindle, I read them on a generic PC reader. It had an option called “dyslexic”, so I tried it. That option turned on a font that looks very much like the font being used here. Maybe it makes it easier for dyslexics to read.

At least you’ll have a book report all ready for your next assignment. (That’ll just need for Mari to turn your teacher to goblin to for them to read it.)

Blart blart blaaaarrt!

This assuming that the manuscript is good and not incredibly boring. Because in that case…

After all this, that manuscript better be really good or really terrible. What’s the first line?

“Oh hi Mark!”

Jackpot!

Dakota needs a hug!

How would they even know it’s you?

“We were somewhere around Blartstow on the edge of the desert when the spells began to take hold….

What if the person who saw you was your former friend, the goblin queen?
