Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for October 04, 2017

If you can be happy for no reason, I don’t see why you can’t be sad for no reason.

Circular logic is completely airtight. The problem is that it’s so airtight that nothing useful can get out of it.

Marigold wanna snuggle? I sure could use one myself.

Oh, poor Marigold.

Nobody has called me the most beautiful thing they ever saw in hours! What a cruel world.

Intrusive bout of melancholy. Been there, Marigold, it’ll pass.

Hug needed, pronto.

I am sooo there.

It’s difficult not to be sad these days…

She’s turning from a unicorn to a donkey.

Yeah, I’ve been there.

I’m in the middle of that sort of mood myself the past few weeks. :(

Sometimes it helps just to have someone with whom to share the sad . . .

I’m feeling a bit sad today myself, but I DO know why…GoComics has some annoying popup every time I go to the A-Z listings, begging me to join their weekly newsletter, and I can’t get rid of it. :( I back up after viewing a comic strip, and it pops up again…Every. Single. Time.

That´s fridge logic for you…

Maybe she needs to eat more. That’s one skinny unicorn.

I think she is getting Home Sick!!

“I’ve got angst in my pants.”

I know that feeling. If I were there, I’d see if she needed a hug. Sometimes some affection is the best thing.

Is this a reflection of the cartoonist’s mood?

Maybe Marigold heard that Winter is Coming and she is thinking about all of the fresh artisanal hay that she will not be able to enjoy.

Oh dear…

I have been coming back all day and looking at this comic.

That last panel has been growing on me all day.

I love it.

“The anti-unicorn poison is finally beginning to take effect”, Phoebe smiled to herself.

I wonder if this storyline was originally written as a form of mental health awareness.

thats how 2017 was for me too then all sorts of bad things happened over the next several years..

fortunately, i dont feel bad anymore hahaha

I think that’s called “depression”.
