Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 22, 2018

You’re not even a real rhino! You’re just a lot of smoke and noise!

Maybe the unicorns are IN the clouds?

get with the program, Phoebe!

Marigold would do anything to make everything a unicorn.

It’s not all black and white when you really look at a storm now. Just a real reason to stay home.

I’d like to hear Phoebe’s thoughts on the “big, burly guy with a magical hammer” theory.

Sometimes the scientific explanations are just no fun.

Here ya go Marigold: Big angry sky unicorns snorting and blowing out billowing clouds of dark smoke until they’re completely veiled in their own breaths.

It’s just a bunch of Pega-

I shouldn’t say that around Marigold.

Phoebe the nit-picker

From an old “Tumbleweeds” comic:

“What causes thunder?”

“The Great Thunderbird flapping his wings.”

“What causes lightning?”

“The Great Thunderbird getting tangled in high-voltage power lines.”

In the lower Hudson River valley, it was Henry Hudson and his crew bowling at nine-pins.

Oh, I love that third panel with the reflected lightning in Marigold’s eye.

It was so far back that it wasn’t just times of old, it was times of ELD.

“We didn’t know much back then!”
