Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 29, 2023

Maybe next time, say “NEIGH!”

Looks like we finally have a daily that isn’t a rerun.

Alas-k again.

A lass she lost, oh loss!

Alas and alack.

Alas: an young, unmarried, Scottish girl.

Every time I hear somebody say “Alas!” I go right to poor Yorick.

If Phoebe was a boy, would Marigold say ALAD?

“Alack!”

“Alas, the 1948 Show”

Yes! Phoebe is a lass.

Tell the truth Marigold, you forgot!

C’mon, Mari! Give her a las’ chance.

“Alas, poor Yorick. I knew him, Horatio, when he was jester at my father’s court.”

Alas, no.

“Alas, nobody is paying attention to my use of the word alas!”

Is Mari referencing Alan’s donkey?

Phoebe is a lass.

I’ll bet Marigold hasn’t even fashioned a response.

A lass (Phoebe) and a lack (of understanding), because Phoebe can’t figure out what’s going on here.

Is that your whole point, Marigold? You regret only that Phoebe doesn’t respond promptly?

“Alas, a lass/Is what I lack/I lack a lass/Alas, alack.” Lyric from “An Opening For A Princess” from “Once Upon A Mattress.”

Alas, alas, alas, Alaska where it’s cold in the winter…what that wasn’t a song cue?
