Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 19, 2016

Same companies, parodys of games.

oh, those were the days of my childhood: the NES (never owned one personally, but it was fun at friends’ houses who did have one)

Y’know, you could have just gone to starbucks…

Hmmm, could be a sparkle overload coming up it that isn’t decaf

That’s a huge kitchen.

If two mugs worth didn’t make a visible reduction in the coffee urn, we’re talking too much coffee, man…….

HEY!!

Unicorn and coffee seem like a bad idea.

Phoebe is in for a sad awakening. whaat smells so good tastes so bad..

Cue the ominous music. Dire things ahead.

I wouldn’t have stuck around either, but I would have left more subtly. Don’t ask how. One of my hands is in a cast so it takes a bit to type.

Look they’re going to try coffee after all.

You know, Phoebe’s got a truly awesome dad. I know this has been established before, but I just want to say it again.

Phoebe knows exactly which button to push.

I liked my Nintendo 64 much better than the 8. Sorry, Phoebe’s dad.

By 1983, 8-bit ’tweren’t much. Mattel’s 16-bit Intelevision had been out for years, as had the 8/16 hybrid IBM PC. Of course, in 1983, I was already in my 30s, and had been using real computers for 18 years, so I don’t have quite the same perspective as Phoebe’s dad.

So close. My forst console was the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, but I know the first Nintendo was also good. Daddy either must now believe he is boring, if not, then at least suspect something is up.

N.

how do they not just HAVE an NES? what is this, the 2000’s?
