Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for April 17, 2023

I bet Marigold meets her future self on a regular basis.

Also, is Future Marigold’s eyepatch a Metal Gear Solid reference?

So, in the future, they can create portals, and don’t have to rely on those time travel tokens.

Mari, you know that talking to yourself could be construed as a sign of madness, don’t you?

Who poked Marigold’s eye with their horn?

Is this like that time Twilight Sparkle met herself from one week in the future?

Marigold sign on to a Pirate ship?!

We really need an arc where Marigold meets her evil mirror image (except the evil one has a goatee). Or has that already been done?

“It’s your KIDS, Marigold! Something’s gotta be done about your KIDS!”

Ackshuallee, a baby horse is called a “foal”; “kid” is for baby goats.

ACKshualee, unicorns aren’t horses, unlike pegasus, which is a winged horse.

ACKSHUALEE—

So is she the Marigold of next Thursday?

“I have come to warn you. In the future, Talk Like a Pirate Day has grown beyond all control.”

“And what am I to do about this?”

“You should buy an eyepatch now. By the time I bought this one, it was ridiculously overpriced.”

I was expecting a “There’s no time to explain!” and then a giant crab showing up.

For some reason I immediately thought of High King Margo from The Magicians.

It’s never a simple answer with Marigold…and that’s the way we like it.

Marigold Plissken finally escaped from New York?

Complicated could be one word you might use……

A cute summery Phoebe is always appreciated.

Missing an eye not a good sign.
