So whining and griping about missing the unicorn it is, then.
Darn, I so wanted Phoebe to go and see the mythic land of CANADA too. But oh well. This should still be entertaining.

I hope Marigold will at least send Phoebe a postcard.

Phoebe will be fine without Marigold for a few days. However, I don’t know how I’ll manage.

Woul be fun if where Marigold who cracks-up for the lack of Phoebe.

This should be fun too. Phoebe trying to do things the normal way after having things done by unicorn for so long. Forgetting she can’t ride things, can’t magic her way threw life etc. could be good. And this could be a chance to see Marigold with out Phoebe, see if she too misses her.
One the other hand anime fans are being denied the wacky shenanigans of the “Hot Springs” episode
but then Ive never seen American shows, cartoons or comics do Hot Springs. Ive seen them do Spas and Candida. We could have had had Phoebe and Marigold covered in mud and cucumbers. Americans just don’t follow the Anime check list
School FestivalHoliday Fare at the local shrineHot Springs EpisodeBeach EpisodeGiant robot battle or some thingPop Star Rock Bandand Winter set Christmas episode with a slight Valentines day vibe.
at last one of those, often more are in every episode but then Dana never does what is expected or typicalMaybe Phoebe can try bonding with other kids? other magical creatures?
but whatever comes of it we’ll laugh, cry and in the end go “Aaaaaaw” because some thing real heartwarming will come from it all.
Also Im considering the possibility that Phoebe is crazy and this is all in her head.

@AlexikakosObviously, she’ll open the saddlebags either with her nose or with magic. The saddlebags are exactly in the right place to be opened easily by a curious unicorn nose. “Hmm, I wonder what my lovely human pet put in here? Ooh! Grass! Won’t find that around here!”

She might end up with another magical creature. I’ll like spider grandmother because she is both a spider and a grandmother, or Todd along with lots of comfret eating on candy.

I go into withdrawal if I am separated from my horse for more than 2 weeks. My horse just gets terribly itchy.

Eh, they’re just delayed on updating. This is really annoying. Sometimes it’s updated in the morning when I go to my saved comics and sometimes it isn’t. I’d like some consistency here!

So was this particular strip a message for the reader? Is this just another late post or are we going to have to go without HN for “a few days” as Marigold told Phoebe?

Stage 2 of unicorn denial:
“I’ll be without my unicorn for THREE WHOLE DAYS! uncontrolable trembling
