Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for February 22, 2023

Don’t rush her. Procrastination is an art.

I’ll say. Since when is practicing the piano homework?

Marigold’s probably just hiding in the piano or using magic to make it appear that it’s talking to her

I love her new shirt.

EVERYbody procrastinates by doing something else.

phoebe, you should be out flying drones :p :D

At least she is doing something!

Something is wrong with me, too. I don’t think it has much to do with procrastination, though.

There’s something wrong with us all, kid.

Don’t worry Phoebe. Everyone has “something wrong“ with them. You’re in good company… although I doubt that Marigold thinks she has anything wrong with her… But that’s a unicorn for ya!

Didn’t she have a music teacher way back?

I sympathize. I should be practicing my bagpipes, what with St. Patrick’s Day just around the corner. Alas, I’ve been out of school for decades, so I don’t have homework to give me an excuse…

Calvin also has that problem, constantly procrastinating in doing his homework.

Few things make you want to avoid doing something more than being expected to.

Good to see her predicting The Piano.

Wow, how many years has it been since her piano-playing was even mentioned?

Yay! Music first!

I thought her shirt had a stain on it at first glance.

I never minded piano lessons and practice. I discontinued only when my homework became overwhelming (sixth grade). Then I cried. Today I sometimes wish I stuck with it.

Actually pretty normal reaction!

No wonder she hates practicing … put some phone books under her!

In the last panel I think she should have been drawn with her neck not broken

has a more serious tone
