Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 20, 2012

@ Dana SimpsonWhy have the updates been so sporadic lately? Yesterday’s Sunday didn’t pop up and neither did today’s, until now.

Unicorns aren’t born, they simply are.

@Weapon BrownThat is because the cuteness factor of a baby unicorn would cause your head to implode.

Also the female unicorns can’t handle the thought of swollen ankles.

I remember a reference to a magical barn in an early strip.

Well, if Unicorn mothers are anything like horses, as soon as the baby’s weaned, it’s, “Get outta here kid, ya bother me.”

So if parents like your friends, that’s a bad thing? When did Phoebe become a teenager?

@Carol CCute answer!—How do I make my @ blue?

She’s not delighted.

Maybe she was magically brought into existence? There’s a lot of things explained away by some form of “unicorn magic”, and Dana’s about the last person I expect to write about something mundane.

Oh my gosh! Marigold used a contraction!!! :-)

How do you know Dana hasn’t ‘worked them out’ beforehand? Are you psychic?

Actually, the more relevant question would be: “Who cares what you think?”

INB4 Her dad is a backwards-aging couch pirate.

Unicorns are manifestations of innocence and purity. Are these things BORN?

Marigold is a perfect being, and to fail to exist would be imperfect. Therefore, she just is.
