Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for February 17, 2020

However, you do not fully comprehend the power of my presence. Therefore, your silence is invalid.

He’s REALLY got nothing better to do, does he?

way to soil it, Phoebe

10/10 would bask again.

When I visit my Mom, or Mom visit’s me, we chat, turn on a movie and chat some more, watch as she does handwork and I some other type of craft. The silence outweighs the conversation, but I always tell Mom I’m ‘basking in the presence of her love’. It’s a quiet ritual which developed over the last 30 years or so.

Are there birds off panel? Basking robins?

I’m puzzled. Just how many seconds exactly constitutes one bask?

He’s like a mini-Marigold.

I love Prince Aspirational Arrogance. I would bask in his presence all day!

The kid’s got confidence.

I was mistaken to think his arrogance was aspirational!

One of the stars is becoming unglued in panels 3 & 4…

They say every time someone asks that question he gains another star.

So Phoebe was unclear on the concept—not her fault you didn’t explain how this would work.

I don’t get it: if Nostrils is accurate in her claims, unicorns are amazingly wonderful and it’s not possible for a unicorn to be dorky looking. Arrogance, yeah, but what gives with the appearance?

Well, at least he regret.

Ah, his humility is a shining example to us all…

While he basks in his reflected brilliance!

You know that “moment of silence in memory of …” thing that people do? I’ve always figured it was a contest. First person to look up and check if someone else is looking up (to check…) loses. Which is generally me.
