Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 11, 2012
Transcript:
Phoebe: I guess I wanted other kids to think I was special. It's lonely being overlooked. Marigold: It's lonely being special too. Unicorns are rare. I spend most of my time alone gazing into crystal pools. Phoebe: So we're NOT so different. Marigold: I'm going pretend I didn't hear that.

You’re unique — just like everyone else…

Ah-ha! Loneliness…the crux of their relationship, as it were. It may lead to a solid friendship…if Marigold can control her ego a bit.

You’re alive - Carpe diem — or anything else of value…

I have a feeling if Marigold were human, her name would be Buffy.

Love that last panel! And panel 3 is a lovely portrait of Marigold. This is beautiful drawing. (but I notice that Marigold’s horn appears to move a bit — centered in panels 2 and 3 but almost overher right eye in panels 1 and 4; tricky business, this is)

No matter where you search for specialness, it is always to be found somewhere else. Like a cat, it comes only when it is not called.

We are all different, yet we are all the same. We all want to believe we are special and we all suffer loneliness at some point.

Because Bill Watterson fought tooth and nail to keep there from ever being one. If he hadn’t, there probably would have been dozens. How good or bad they would have been is anyone’s guess.

I liked “The Incredibles” also. Thanks for the reminder – haven’t seen it for a year or so.

We’re not so different, you and I. That’s normally how evil villain speeches go.

I’m different due to liking being called weird :D
