Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 25, 2023

Or maybe it’s normal-sized and the lemonade made you grow.

All right, Dougal, let’s try this one more time. Small… far away…

Either it’s on a hill, or this is a small planet.

This is a first for Dana making a warped domain of reality where nothing makes sense.

It’s getting wicked fun and scary here.

A small town near train tracks? Imagine the shaking and noise every time a train passed by.

This is like when I used a telescope to look at toy dinosaurs.

I dream of Lionel Train tracks…

The strip has taken a VERY odd twist. And I like it.

Welcome to Smallville!

I had the opposite experience when I visited Newcastle and decided to take a bike trip to Durham. I thought I saw a curious angel figure in a garden somewhere in front of me, but as I was pedalling and pedalling, it didn’t seem to get any bigger for a long while, so I realised that a really huge sculpture, and much further away than I had thought at first.

It is called the Angel of the North, and I’ve later repeatedly seen it in the crime series Vera.

Would it be a bad thing to say the comic is a matter of perspective?

Let’s hope that Phoebe and Dakota don’t get the kind of reception that Lemuel Gulliver got in Lilliput.

Very close horizon, too.

Probably a lot of small town folks live there!

two normal sized girls in a small town… wonder if they’re used to big visitors.

Attack of the 50 inch women.

The Smurfs, having their village destroyed by Gargamel and pushed from the forest, escape to the 3rd-Least Enchanted Lands and are currently living in an isolated fundamentalist compound..

This storyline is all over the place

They found themselves in a small town on the wrong side of the tracks….

I have to say I am truly enjoying this adventure.

They prefer “cozy”.

Cue Alfur Aldric!

Must be Alfur’s village.

Ahh. Gulliver’s travels. Remember……

Isn’t there a song about small towns?

Don’t rustle their cattle or you will be known as The Terror of Tiny Town.

I thought they were coming to Oz, but they found Lilliput instead.

It’s not a horizon line, it’s a horizon lyin’!

I wonder if that’s the one John Mellencamp was born in?
