Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 23, 2023

Maybe she’s only pretending to be lemonade…

Not really. Heard of the other elementals thanks to Avatar: The last airbender.

Most water elementals I know look more like a whirlpool with arms.

earth wind and fire… it’s a band from the 70’s

Oh, the folks(?) you meet when you least expect it!

In Ancient Times, the four elements were believed to be earth, air, water and fire. Nowadays we know that none of these are really elements and that air is one of the components of fire. We also know the names of real elements such as hydrogen and oxygen which combine to create water.

As I said yesterday, this may be the Second or Third Least Enchanted Land as Marigold claims but it certainly has some enchantment.

Will the Lemonade Elemental feed them from himself/herself or will the Lemonade Elemental produce more lemonade for them? I hope that we see.

“Lemonade Elemental”….?

Did not see that coming. That is hysterical.

None of them are much good at Scrabble.

Welcome to the week of Phoebe and Dakota finding random crazy weird creatures, I guess?

Umm… Wouldn’t a lemonade elemental would just be a variant of the water elemental?

Hmmm, no, lemonade is not an element in any system I’ve heard of. And I’d be suspicious of any watery substance that was colored yellow. Give her a good sniff. Maybe a cautious sniff.

Ask your dad about them Phoebe.

Do I make an Adventure Time reference, or a Captain Planet reference?

Ah forget it. I don’t believe in nuthin’ no more.

By which she means not very famous at all, clearly.

Oh, come off it. You’re just a clumsy water elemental who stumbled into a lemon grove.

Is it made with real lemons? (name that film)

I’m surprised she hasn’t heard of elementals, especially with her dad being a huge nerd.

Lemonade Elemental works the concessions where a certain Disney/Pixar film is playing.

The one you don’t want to run into is the lightning para-elemental. Especially if you are the usual tin can a fighter is.

Wait! Don’t tell me this Lemonade element wants to offer lemonade to them. Because that’s kinda gross.

No they need to meet up with the Red Solo Cup Elemental!

And she doesn’t mind getting partially drunk?

Strawberry Lemonade Elemental is off-frame like, “Me, too! Also super famous!” :P

We call elementals “states of matter”. Perhaps this lemonade is a liquid crystal?>

The ginger beer elemental is best.

What a surprise development. A lemonade elemental – it’s almost sublime.

Better than the urine elemental she gets confused with all the time.

It’s wonderful concepts like this that keep the strip going despite mostly sticking to the lane of “Phoebe and marigold get into some magical thing that usually involved phoebe’s school life”

Was this one in the Pixar/Disney movie earlier this year?

Drinking part of someone’s body seems rather… intimate.

I am, absolutely, adding a Lemonade elemental to my next D&D campaign adventure.
