Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 14, 2012

Panel 4 is the stuff expressions are made of.

Is Marigold enchanting the asparagus spears to float to her mouth… or make them more tasty? Or both?

It wouldn´t be very believable either – we don´t have a king only a queen :)

I like what is going on in panel 3.

Better yet, the panel 4 Marigold “ignoring this delicate situation.”

[Avoids any Hamlet jokes here]

He can’t say he’s the King of Denmark.I’M the King of Denmark!

I think Marigold would have known he wasn’t the kind of Denmark. Why would he be living in suburn America? I don’t know how old Marigold is, but I thjink she’s old enough to know better.

“Oh, sorry. I administrate Danish systems. Ah, there’s the Danish now…” chomp

Hey. Sysadmins == God. Just ask any of them.

Sorry Phoebe.

It seems that Dad has his own Shield of Boringness.

That’s usually the reaction when people ask me my job. I say, “I’m a systems administrator” and then they nod quietly and move on to the next person.

Like father like daughter, Phoebe.

Somehow when I read Phoebe’s dad, I hear the voice of Tim Crist aka =sHOeBOx= of Worm Quartet’s voice in my head.

With that hair and the beard, I’d wager Unix systems.

Nice facial expression on Dad in the last panel.

HELL-o! I am liking this. Up to now the parents had been kind of nondescript, but suddenly the dad shows a flash of character, and a bright flash at that.

I get so happy when I see Denmark mentioned in this kind of stuff. None of my friends knew of Denmark before I told them what it was. (I’m danish) I only just found this site.

It’s January 2018 and i just found this lovely comic. At this point I only have love for the way the story is told. Good work.

Just need to state what Denmak is because we allways got forgotten. Denmark is:The oldest kingdom. LEGO. Hans Christian Andersen. Rolex. Maersk. Vikings. The small country in Scandinavian making trouble everywhere.

It would be cool if he administered a flavour of unix called “Phoenix”, and if you don’t think so, you can kiss my dragonlips :P
