Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for November 01, 2023

Don’t forget her pointy nose.

I love her freckles.

Marigold’s ability to build herself up morally in the first three panels, only to stumble on herself with her bluntness in the fourth, is quite admirable.

I know several things I could say, and am having indecision.

Something we couldn’t hear in the strip no doubt.

Unicorns seem to be missing a bit of emotional intelligence.

So do I, but there are children present.

Phoebe seems better at knowing what to say when insulted than when complimented. She’s obviously more used to the insults.

Why the long face, Marigold?

Aaand Mary Worth dashes in with a bar of soap, ‘just in case’ it slips out.

All humans have a flat face compared to any unicorn.

I love your funny face

Your sunny funny face

You’re not exotic, but so hypnotic,

You’re much too much

If you can cook, the way you look —

I’d swim the ocean wide

Just to have you by my side.

Tho you’re no Mona Lisa, for worlds I’d not replace

Your sunny, funny face!

Better say nothing, Phoebe.
