Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 09, 2012
September 08, 2012
September 10, 2012
Transcript:
Phoebe: Tomorrow it'll be all over. No more summer. No more freedom. It's like having to sit in a plastic chair and do what the teacher says. Marigold: I suppose there's only one thing you can do. Phoebe: What? Marigold: Hang on.
The week after Labor Day is a bit late to start school if you ask me, but then again, I had earlier school starts (often mid-August) than apparently most other people, and where I currently live, school starts earlier than THAT.
Unicorns need seat belts. Also I am looking forward to the day we see other magical creatures in the strip, it would be neat to have a day ware Phoebe was the odd life form and Marigold was the normal one.
Also I observed that Phoebe and Dakota are also names of characters in Harvest Moon: Animal Parade. Also Phoebe is a name of a girl on the show Hey Arnold. In each case Phoebe is my favorite character too.

Its not fair. Phoebe had two whole months to ride, I only get two weeks and I do it in the fall, which is the best time to ride.

Phoebe, try riding by moonlight. It’s a real treat, especially right after a new snowfall.

Oooh, lovely! And so now I am going to head off and have a ride on my own Marigold.

Love Marigold’s smile when she says hang on.
kcredden over 12 years ago
I’m totally jelious. I never got to ride a horse (or unicorn) one day before school.

Maybe Marigold can rewind time so that its the first day of summer again

For those that remember the 60s, The Meaning Of Life is to Sit Back, Hang on Tight, Enjoy the Ride!

I like Marigold’s expression in panel 5.You can tell she’s planning something unusual.
I’ve had similar rides on my horse on cool mornings.

Go for a long ride!

I trust this is just a short ride and not an attempt to run away forever.

Savor those moments when you can truly be free. They will stick with you for the rest of your life.

This is just awesome. And it explains why this has become one of my favorite comic strips.

Don’t forget that your mind won’t be the only thing placed in close confinement. You’ll have to start wearing shoes too…

Beautiful comic. I love it!
Basqueian over 12 years ago
You can tell when a horse is planning this sort of thing. And if they like you, they let you come along

Marigold’s expression in the last panel looks like Phoebe’s choking her… Or maybe it’s just me.
