Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for February 01, 2025

Were they ever really taking that argument seriously in the first place?

They call this “singing”, I call it a racket.

Could always send them to Dakota’s home…

I wonder what Marigold’s equivalent level of sorcery is..

I guess the new house misgivings will pass!

Annoying Pixies, that’s a new one!

Ok. Away with the Pixies; onto a haunting by the Dead!!

Pheobe: Why not use a butterfly net? Marigold: That’s just silly. Beside, it only works in cartoons.

The much-dreaded pixie Song That Never EVER Ends.

“Second verse, just like the first.”

Oh, great. As if I NEEDED a Herman’s Hermits flashback to start my day.

I wonder if the Shield of Boringness keeps folks from noticing the fairies? Though if they are constantly singing “La la la-la la la” even the shield won’t stop them from annoying folks. Probably the house resides on their ancestral home and this is their revenge.

It doesn’t come through in text, but all the pixies are using auto-tune.

Are pixies evil fairies?

I’m still sort of confused on why Phoebe’s suddenly so against moving now—she wasn’t initially up until around they actually arrived at the house. Maybe that’s when the reality of it all sunk in?

Honestly, though, I think she’s getting lucky with this arrangement, because the house may change, but most everything else in her life will certainly stay the same, since they’re not exactly moving far, not even out of the same local neighborhood they were already living in.

I still think they should try asking teh pixies nicely to leave. Maybe with gifts.

are pixies the same as (the noise in) grunkel stan’s hearing aid?

Is it better or worse than them saying, “Hey! Listen! Look! Hey! Listen! Look!”?

Dark humor thought: What sanity? She’s been hallucinating about unicorns, dragons, and goblins for years now! [Sorry, sorry, sorry, I have this dark streak that wants to get out now and then and I’m afraid of what might happen if I keep it bottled up.]

Now we know why the previous owners sold the house.

So Pixi’s only interest is singing? I hope that after the enchantment they can say something more.
