Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 06, 2024

It should have been obvious she wasn’t going for realism when she drew herself wearing a different shirt.

“I would like to have a nose… pert, if your nose fall off, can i have it!?? woo! yay! nose!”* ~The Mum

*regular quotes

Phoebe probably doesn’t like how her nose is pointy.

Phoebe Nose-Haver. Of the Buckinghamshire Nose-Havers. Yes, I went to school with her grandfather…

They may revoke her artistic license.

Phoebe Absent Nostrils.

She deleted her nose so she would not be called nosey?

She’s an artist who draws what the sees. When she was srawing the didn;t have a mirror, so she didn’t see the freckles or a nose (the brain is trained to cut off the nose from the field of view, so unless someone concentrates on it, it will be “offscreen”)

(Oh, and sorry for making you all concentrate on noticing your own nose for a bit ;) )

Better draw in the nose, Phoebe, or people will say you smell bad…

I love this one.

You nose it snot artistic license.

Look, her nostrils aren’t as heavenly as yours, Marigold—she’s doing the world a favor sparing them from having to witness that. :P

As someone who used to want to be an artist: Noses can be pretty dang hard to draw.

Next panel: Oh yeah? Well Phoebe, your artistic license has just been revoked!

Lack of detail is not dishonesty.

Drawing herself without a nose? Snot a problem.

Granted, I’ve been away for awhile, but Phoebe seams a little more freckled than I remember.

Better Miss Nose-Haver than Miss Nose-Shaver

I went back—shes right. no nose

I like the way Marigold picked up the sketch book.
