Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 14, 2022

Thank god Marigold didn’t use that mud to perform a certain form of entertainment that hasn’t been socially acceptable since the 1950s…

Can you imagine Marigold’s expression behind the mask?

sure, Marigold

Someone was looking REALLY close to try and find her reflection in that puddle!

Marigold thinks she needs a beauty treatment? That’s way out of character.

Marigold would be good friends with Rarity.

That was very unexpected!

Mud, mud, glorious mud, nothing quite like it for cooling the blood!

Marigold shouldn’t need to use her imagination. She can use real magic to see what she can’t see.

Phoebe, what are you waiting for? Do it you to! It’s funny!

Totally unrelated this strip: after Phoebe celebrated her 10th-birthday, is she going to move on to 5th-grade in the fall of 2022? Or is she just going to continue being in 4th-grade?

…okay then.

Even if Phoebe didn’t say anything, she was still curious about what Marigold was doing.

A mud mask for a face covered in fur. Excellent idea.

Isn’t cannot a contraction of can and not, therefore anathema?

“Contraction: A word or group of words resulting from shortening an original form. Goodbye” is a contraction of God be with you, for example.”

Glancing at the second panel with the sound effect, it looked like Mari was throwing up.

…So Marigold is admitting less than perfect beauty?
