Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 10, 2023

Maybe it’s filled with coupons for various fast food restaurants! Can’t get more magical than that!

Don’t open it. That thing on it’s side is a red flag.

I’m drawn to my mailbox almost every day.

It’s what’s inside that Marigold is attracted to.

LSH is hiding in the mailbox?

Hey, you can get 8 CDs (or 12 cassette tapes) out of that thing for just a penny.

MAGIC!!

Mail boxes often are magical either on holidays or six to eight business days after you place an order.

I was looking at the comics from 10 years ago when I first found this series, looking at the current art style,..well.., let’s just say I was not prepared for it XD

It must have only just become a powerful talisman of magic or Marigold would have noticed it before. It is probably whatever is inside which is magical.

Marigold is magically drawn in every strip. Dana’s good at it.

Publisher’s Clearing House, Marigold is a winner?!

What if the magic is coming from a chain letter that’s sitting in the mailbox?

Must be a new junk mail trick.

Who is “Bill”, and why do I keep getting mail with his name on it?

Maybe Robot Marigold sent a postcard from the moon?

When I was young, I looked through a book of pictures, wrote the names of the items I wanted on a piece of paper that came with the book, wrote a number and my name on another special piece of paper, put both into an envelope that also came with the book, glued a third special piece of paper to the corner of the envelope, and put it into the box at the end of the driveway.

A few days later, the thing that I wanted appeared in the box.

If you’re a kid waiting for a package or special letter, you bet it’s magical. Sadly, reality reasserts itself shortly thereafter.
