Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 24, 2024

Lord Splendid Humility has felt a disturbance in the force.

Phoebe is laughing like the Joker right now. I can just hear it.

helps to read what’s on the page BEFORE saying it

Phoebe is about to be turned into an actual talking saddle, which will mean a lot of paperwork for the ticket booth.

This reminds me a lot of that Calvin and Hobbes story where Calvin had to write a story for class…except in reverse, with the Calvin analogue writing for the Hobbes analogue.

Dana has never drawn her directly from the front, has she?

Self deprecating words never heard in Unicorn speak!

And this is why we have editors. and extensive time outs…

Cue the “Experiencing Technical Difficulties. Please Stand by” screen. This strip will now simply be called “The Unicorn ..”

When I take pictures of a friend for his social media posting, he insists on head-on photos. I try to explain that three quarters views are more flattering, but he won’t listen.

Phoebe… that wasn’t nice at all.

Oh. That was… kinda disappointing. I guess I shouldn’t have expected standup comedy from a child.

If you line up the shot just right, all anyone will see is heavenly nostrils, eyes and ears.
