Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 20, 2012
May 19, 2012
May 21, 2012
Transcript:
Never has a dream before that didn't face away. Never had a unicorn to ask me out to play. Never had a child with me to share the best of things. A princess of suburbia who dances, laughs and sings. Never was a part of two who run beneath the stars. Never has someone who could tell me "THIS IS OURS." Never be alone again neither day or night. A princess and a unicorn have finally got it right.

I began tearing up when I saw this. The sort of bonds of friendship that can never be broken. Simple, true, childhood friendships. Thank you for the strip, Danaā¦and for telling us that less-than-imaginary friends can still be true.

I enjoy this strip also -
But does Marigold keep Phoebe from growing up or have we forgotten about Puff, the magic dragonā¦

And you and I climb crossing the shapes of the morningAnd you and I reach over the sun for the riverAnd you and I climb clearer, towards the movementAnd you and I called over valleys of endless seas
Yes ā āAnd You and Iā

Nice poem Dana. Though I havenāt made a comment on here in a couple of weeks, I also have been reading everyday since day one.
Going back to a conversation a few weeks ago. In spite of the angst you mentioned from the powers that be, I donāt think Heavenly Nostrils is suffering from the name.

These are the kinds of associations most withdrawn kids have with imaginary friends. Iāll keep this comment on a positive note by saying itās a beautiful thing youāre doing, Dana.

Iāve been wanting to comment on this strip the second it appeared, but Iām afraid nothing that comes to mind can possibly do justice to this. This just has such a huge affect to me. ::sniffles::
I just love and adore the tender expression on Marigoldās face at the end, as she gazes down at her child, all exhausted and passed out, totally trusting.
I want to own this one.

I hate the way this particular strip was remodeled. I still have the original structure and itās way better than this present one.

Marigold farted in the last panel, which woke Phoebe up and ruined the moment. Or maybe this comment did. :^D
