Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 08, 2023

Well this just turned into 20 questions all of a sudden.

Why aren’t they asking “Is this question just practice?”

The Kobayashi Maru. I’ll admit it.

What is furless and about to be kicked in orbit?

Don’t you just hate it when you know something that’s useful in the current situation, but you’re embarrassed by the fact that you know it, and don’t want to admit it?

Where did the cat get all these Dad jokes?!

I guess Dakota is not a Trekkie!

Take your time, cat; practice ahead…

They can’t do that and squash bugs at the same time.

“What have I got in my pocket?” “You don’t even have pockets. But you’d have a magic ring of invisibility in one if you did.” “ARRRRGGGGGGG!”

You are right and anytime lol!

Phoebe, are you seriously telling me you didn’t ask “Is this a practice or the deciding riddle?” after the first time?

It can’t be a coincidence that this strip ran on Star Trek Day! :)

Riddle me this, CAT: “Who wants to live, yet tests the waters as if he’s immortal?”

Bad cat!

Happy Star Trek Day. LLAP _\\//

Hey, fellow nerds, Trekkers and Trekkies! Today, September 8th, is Star Trek day! Head over to Paramount+ and check it out!

Send that Cat to Vegas for new material!

Sounds like the exchange between Bilbo Baggins and Gollum.

Earlier on in this story arc, Dakota told the cat, “We did answer your riddle. It was easy!” It was, of course, Phoebe who answered the cat’s riddle as she answers all of the cat’s riddles here. Dakota doesn’t seem to know or care much about riddles. Phoebe is probably just making herself look an even bigger nerd in Dakota’s eyes.

A barber shaves everyone except those who shave themselves. Who shaves the barber?

Happy Star Trek day!!!

Oh, just grab the dang cat by the scruff of the neck, get going already, and not let the cat have any more say in the matter.

An odd-numbered Star Trek movie. Or is it the evens? Wrath of Khan was second, so it’s gotta be the odds.

Wait, Nemesis was #10. I guess the odd/even structure isn’t reliable.

I think Dakota knows.

Today is the anniversary of the show’s first airing.

Ask about the Riddle of Steel…. James Earl Jones knows that one.

Is anyone else going through hairless, snarky unicorn withdrawal? I can hardly wait for the Sunday edition.

As a sphinx, he stinx.

They need to nail this jerk with a good ol’ paradox. Hit him with the “statement is false.”

Very timely according to Day by Dave…

Choice Star Trek reference! Happy Trek Day!

Nice inclusion for Star Trek Day!

The riddle the sphynx is looking for is one that ISN’T a chestnut and in fact has literally just been made up and has no answer, like, “Why is a raven like a hairball?”

you’re a towel
