Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for June 28, 2015
Transcript:
Dakota: Oh-em-gee! Welcome to another edition of SoDakota. Right now you're probably like "hey, Dakota's hair always looks amazing, but today it's, like, EPIC." You know how last time I told you I know a unicorn? I got her to ENCHANT MY HAIR. It has, like, extra bounce and shine, with vibrant, natural color and hold that lasts all day! Don't even need conditioner, either, which is pretty convenient. ...although sometimes it can be totally high-maintenance.

The Supreme Court just ruled that magic hair can get married in all 50 states.

I wonder how many thumbs down and negative comments is Dakota getting on that video.

Hate to say this, but I’m so disappointed with this retcon. I mean, seriously disappointed.

I guess she could use this to set up a condensed flashback to how Dakota’s hair came to be magic. It depends how much time has elapsed since the last edition of SoDakota.

I like this strip. Maybe is the color or something, but I can totally imagine Dakota moving in that screen. That´s how she could look in animated form.

I can understand Dana’s decision not to retell every story, but I miss not seeing a bald Dakota.

OK, so the unicorn has granted the little girl’s nemesis a wish that is, more like than not, going to make her even more obnoxious towards anyone who doesn’t make her “grade”?Doesn’t sound like a story arc to me. Sounds like a betrayal.

So, a clear reference to a storyline from before the strip got into newspapers. And I just realized that Dana replied to my comment a few days ago and confirmed that those stories are still canonical. Thank you. It’s very nice to know that the creator is actually here and reading our comments. :-)
However, only a few days ago, there was the sequence where Dakota tried to one-up Phoebe with her car, cellphone or football. She didn’t seem to have reaped any personal benefits from being acquainted with Marigold then. Might be a bit confusing to new readers.

At least the Unicorn didn’t put makeup on your face. Yet.

Well I for one am glad to see this story. One, I missed the original story of Dakota’s hair getting enchanted; two, I’m happy to go through the story line again because, three, Dakota is a hoot and always gets her comeuppance; and four, it’s just a fun arc to watch this “good deed” spin out of control. Lighten up, guys, Life isn’t tailor-made.

Time for a little extra cream rinse. …then threats with a curling iron.

When does this retcon begins? I’m late to the party and I’m still reading the comics from 2014 so I’m really curious about it.
BTW, Yay! my first comment on the site.

Shouldn’t that sign read “Hair writes now”? LOL.

How and when did she get Marigold to do that?
