Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for December 29, 2024

If Marigold was a full-sized horse, playing such a game would be much more dangerous. Thankfully, she is a unicorn, and it isn’t dangerous because unicorn.

I thought pixies were supposed to be good for asparagus plants.

Now that you’re awake, Marigold, how about a massage?

Did Phoebe do the correct thing with either animal? She could have let both animals sleep.

You can get that same reaction from a horse by scratching their sides.

This is another reprint. I remember that someone commented when it first appeared, “Evil Asparagus Pixies would be a good name for a Punk band.”

Awwwww! I bet that feels good Marigold!

“Asparagus pixies” — nice touch.

What’s the animal in the first three frames? It looks like a cat, but it can’t possibly be; if it were, the rest of the strip would be set in the hospital.

A few cats tolerate tummy rubs, but only when they’re awake.

Luckily it turned out that the pixies’ vocation is warning people not to cultivate or have anything to do with asparagus.

A cat who likes belly rubs. No nip lock.
