Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 14, 2023

These two are a dream team.

Kind of irrelevant and random, but in the chance that Phoebe and Her Unicorn successfully gets made into an animated series after being dropped by both Amazon AND Nickelodeon, I had a crazy idea of who could write the theme song.

Richard M. Sherman, of the Sherman Brothers.

Yes, Richard is still active, despite being in his nineties (though his older brother Robert sadly passed away a decade ago). Assuming he makes it another few years, P&HU would be a perfect swan song for him.

The reason I chose him is because the Shermans were involved in two franchises Dana is a fan of, Winnie the Pooh and Peanuts (specifically, Snoopy Come Home), and it only feels appropriate for him to be a songwriter on a series that takes influence from both.

Once again, just a random idea I came up with that I thought would be neat, since I’m a Sherman Brothers fanboy.

And if I take your cookie in a dream, I’ll also take it for real so you can be mad at me for something I actually did.

Does she practice saying the alphabet backwards so if she ever gets pulled over for drunk driving, she’ll be ready? Fortunately, the police let me stop at W. I was sober; I just drive crazy.

Good that she’s mad. Being disappointed is the worry.

Being a good friend is an awesome skill. Supposedly I’m really good at being a good friend.

Do you think unicorns have a version of that common dream where you’re naked in public? I have my own version where I’m not wearing a shirt. It’s really weird.

The BEST of friends!

She’s had time to practice by now, I’d imagine.

Of course, we all know that, if offered the chance to have a tail, Phoebe wouldn’t say no.

TTB – tragically tailless butt… lol

I love their friendship.

Phoebe handled that perfectly. I wish I had a friend like that.

Friendship isn’t a competition, but yeah Phoebe wins.

These two are such good pals. You see a new facet of their friendship all the time.

Happy Mother’s Day!!

Marigold exclaims “unicorn!” for her excuses. Does Phoebe exclaim “human!” for her excuses?

It’s true: unicorns are wonderful, but humans are awesome!
