Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for November 22, 2023

On the topic of mythical creatures, do you think we’ll ever see qilin/kirin in this comic?

Dana likes drawing unicorns AND dragons, and qilin are basically a cross between both.

I don’t know if the sphinx is stupid or crazy (or both)

Why not? Well? Did I get the riddle right?

Or maybe, why is Stella not considered an insect when she has more than four limbs?

Because

“Why?” is as much a riddle as “What have I got in my pocket?”

42. That was an easy one. Next?

Whyyyyyyyy Not?!

‘Coz if there weren’t no “Why” there would be no “Zed” and there wouldn’t be an end to the alphabet! ;-)

I saw this on a test once; the correct answer was “Why not?”

Prediction: Phoebe and Marigold mess up the cat’s answer. Terrible retribution.

Too easy! Because.

Whyyyyyyyy Noooooot?

“For the medical benefits.”

The letter or the word??

42?

Chicken thigh.

Awwwww! Now I want to be a distracting human! Please? Please? Can I? Huh? Pleeeeeeeease?

“Why ask why? Try Bud Dry.”

.

…yeah, I know that beer advertising jingles can’t answer life’s questions, but it’s not like anything else has had greater success.

It’s the essence of riddles and logic puzzles. A relative of the solution to the country house mystery.

42!!!

In the episode “The General” of the show “The Prisoner” Number 6 destroyed a computer by asking it “why?”

The question is very difficult. I’m afraid the Sphinx cat will never become an official Sphinx.

Why not?

I’m a cat, that’s why.

The correct answer is “Because”. If a more complete answer is needed, then it’s “Because that’s the way it is.”

It don’t think “Why not?” or “Because” will cut it. The sphinx wants a sphinx answer, like “Who cares?” or “What’s for dinner?”

Delilaaaaaaahhhh!
