Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 08, 2012

Who knew… narcissist unicorn

Oh, what a thing of disappointment is childhood… And friendship.

Maybe she should be a vampire, then she wouldn’t have that problem.

I am enjoying this strip! And in respond to yesterday’s comment about it being a female version of Calvin & Hobbes, that still stands.

Alas, unicorns -especially vain, narcissistic ones- don’t come with user and instructional manuals . . .

“Caution: Keep away from all reflective surfaces.”

I don’t think she’s listening, Phoebe.

this ride could be a lot of fun. don’t listen to the naysayers Dana…

Why is that annoying less attractive creature making so much noise? I’s so distracting!

Loving this strip. Keep up the good work Dana.

So that’s the reason Marigold never made it!

Should have rode her into class, Phoebe!

Now I who Dana Simpson is!! This was the creator ofMaal & Chad! (I’m a stickler for names and details)

Poor Phoebe had her hopes dashed by a narcissist unicorn.

I guess she got distracted!

So Heavenly Nostrils and I have something in common! Sadly my boss doesn’t accept the excuse “I got distracted by this extremely attractive man staring at me in my bathroom” for being late to work.

This exactly like Tarzan! It has a human that can talk with animals! </superficial comparison>

That’s “Siodmak”, of course, and I gather he had folklore precedents.

Just like the ancient Greek tale of Narcissus… except with a beautiful unicorn, who when you think about it is way more susceptible to vanity than any other creature in traditional mythology.

I have a feeling this is going to happen a lot.

Have to admit…that IS one awesome puddle now.

And don’t dis mud, what do you think they use for beauty treatments?

Chuck some dirt in her mane.
