Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for June 09, 2012

Yeah Phoebe, don’t you know anything?

Can Mom see the unicorn, or is it sorta like Calvin and Hobbes, and she’s just playing along to humor Phoebe?

It’s that boredom glamour thing explained early on. Mom sees marigold, but it doesn’t register as an event of importance.

I guess the horned horse knows from experience :)

“Princess of Ethereal Wonderfulness, Light & Candy…” : D What an awesome title! (Love the expression on Marigold’s face, looking up at Mom, in panel 2.)

Hmm….. Mom seems to be petting Marigold. Perhaps she CAN see her.

I can sympathize with Marigold, I used to have the same experience with my sister and her Glenn Campbell records.

The unicorn has a point.

I guess Marigold doesn’t mind being called “Phoebe’s unicorn”?

Aww, is Marigold smiling a little in panel 2?

I didn’t think about Marigold being a stuffed toy, but I see the mom looking a Marigold now.

Hey, it took most of a year for “Beetle Bailey” to turn into “Beetle Bailey”. For all we know, in a year’s time this strip could be about a spinach-eating hillbilly abandoned baby.

Either possibility would be fine with me! :-)

Actually it’s Heavenly Nostrils, and unless the Dana decides to change the name, that’s how it will stay. ;-)

Sorry, ain’t buying the toy thing. According to some (most?, I’m rusty), only females could see unicorns, especially young virgins (see the movie “The Last Unicorn” as example). Plus Phoebe hit Marigold in the face while skipping rocks across the lake. The stuffed unicorn idea is just too complicated based on where the story started from to today for me.

i’m confused.
