Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for April 22, 2020

I once thought up a character who was a billionaire, and called him Richard at first, before I realized that the pun would be distracting. Then his name was Howard.

So far, so good.

Ond what, pay tell, is so funny about a name like Shelly? {thought for a second} Oh. Snails have shells.

But “Yoony” isn’t a unicornian name. Right…

When my kid was that age, I made up bedtime stories. His favorite characters were Ched R. Cheese (who had a thing for cheese of course) and his friend Corny (who loved corn on the cob).

Shelley doesn’t seem all that, ahem, corny to me.

snrrrrk

Mari, this too shell pass…

Phoebe!!!

Reminds me of that old joke about the guy who turned up to a fancy dress party with his girlfriend strapped to his back. He said he was a snail and his girlfriend was Michelle.

(likes “name” in the last panel of the cartoon; wonders about the expression and text of "*snrrk* for one of the characters in that panel)

My only OC in my life was a guy who got married to Marcia Brady……..luckily nobody READ this post!

shelly gave me the best pants ever

How interesting… Does she have a brother named Sheldon? ;)
