Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 29, 2012

(yay~)

Here’s hoping the two girls grow up to be “normal” and laughed at the remainder of their lives.

Secret Weird People Meeting? Isn’t that being held in Tampa right now?

No, that’s the meeting of the “Our Policies Destroyed the World Economy but We’ve Spent the last 4 years Blaming it on the Guys who Weren’t In Power so Give Us Another Try” people.

And yes, I’ve been seen rolling polyhedra dice, which qualifies me for this organization!

Wow. From a cute strip about a little girl’s birthday party to politics.

How ’bout you folks wander over to Doonesbury or some other politically oriented strip?

Phoebe can do a lot of damage to Dakota’s reputation just by being there. Hmmm…Dakota comes riding into the party on the back of Marigold, but only Phoebe is left at the party to see it. Dooooom!

Pheobe will probably grow up cool, wandering around the world being a famous great ape expert or something. The other two and their ilk will be really popular, get boy-friends way too young, have kids way too soon, and age before their time. In their 40’s they’ll be sitting in front of the TV eating potato chips envying the life of the cool anthropologist they are now watching…. Possibly!

My daughters Girl Scout troop fell apart when the other fashion and clique obsessed girls stopped working on their career and survival projects. They dropped out of college pregnant, are divorced singles with children, and no career path. She learned Mandarin Chinese while getting her degree and is a photographer in China.

Dakota did invite Phoebe of course.

Reminds me of my childhood. Weirdos are unique, gifted and talented, just not in looks or athletic ability.I can paint my horse as well as ride him and he doesn’t care if I’m weird!

As much as I feel she deserves it, I’m already feeling sorry for Dakota and the reception she’s about to have, because it’s not going to be the one she thinks it will be.

“That’s a good choice… we decided to vote you off the island.” ;-)

Okay, now I just need to master her quiet “yay” instead of exploding inside.

better to acknowledge the slur with humor than tears & screaming

Mean Girls.

DAK is at the top of the food chain because The lower rungs have agreed to support her position.

Her entire crowd must snub people lower on the food chain to maintain their position, and those have agreed, etc. etc.

.The snub can come for any reason so long as it keeps people lower than your position.

girls act like this. Boys just beat each other up until they figure out who’s toughest.

you have to be crazy to be a genius – Temple Grandin..I’m glad PHO doesn’t care to associate with people who snub. It means she’s decided not to support the pecking order.

fraid yer wrong on the barefoot and pred. That’s for the bottom rungs of the pecking order. They’ll do any stupid thing to try to get up a rung.

.The top rungs sell their charisma at a very dear price. And everyone who agrees to support the pecking order ends up miserable.

.Again, glad PHO has decided she’s not joining the pecking order, no matter what party her parents force her to attend. Good call kid.

“Weird”? “Cool”? Halloween is coming up in less than 70 days, girls… Guess which side I’D rather be on?

Hush girl, don’t speak about our SWPM Club! We don’t want ‘non-weirdos’ to know about us!

Looks like Phoebe’s bringing Dakota down with her.

That’s basically a summary of my personality

Darn it Dana, those are supposed to be secret, don’t tell everyone those exist!

Did they just compliment Phoebe?-

Because on an app called ‘Epic!’ i found out weird means fantastic

I am going to begin saying weird as fantastic now.
