Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 11, 2023

“Overdue”? You mean turning someone into a pillow is bound to happen?

The stars are consistent, but don’t match any real constellations as far as I know. A nice middle-ground on the realism scale.

Turn Phoebe and Dakota into pillows and make them fight to the death as you bet on the outcome.

(Anyone remember the first slumber party arc?)

Now I’ll have to stay awake until it happens.

Sleeping spells are indeed dangerous. Rip Van Winkle slept for about twenty years and most versions of Sleeping Beauty have her sleeping for one hundred years.

Marigold is quite concerned about what to do to help!

And now I’m worried about suddenly becoming a pillow. Thanks, Marigold.

That’s an interesting take on the law of averages.

Would that be a down pillow. Marigold, or one of those “My Pillow” ones?

It does feel like that would 100% happen if she tried a sleeping spell.

Really? If it didn’t happen before, it’s not gonna happen now!

The gambler’s paradox:

I’m in a losing streak so I’m due for a win.

I’m on a winning streak, I can’t quit now!

Requiring magic in order to sleep is probably a slippery slope to be heading down anyway.

I would call that the gambler’s fallacy, except I don’t think unicorn magic necessarily obeys the rules of mathematics.

That’s our Marigold: Better safe than sorry.

and, wow, do we ever not to see Phoebe as a poillow
