Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 31, 2013

Now I want to see Marigold’s Lets Play I seen a lot of kids on youtube born after 1999 who can’t play super mario world to save there lives quit the game at the lost woods and call it the hardest game ever made because they still can’t figure out the controls. Tutorials spoil kids.

Also Nice how Marigold tries to bluff her way out of it. I wounder if thats Super Mario some thing? I can’t quite tell but it looks a bit like it.

I feel exactly that very same way each year when I do my income taxes.

It’s definitely Mario. I can make out some fluffy clouds, trees, but most tellingly: a pipe. The score and life GUI are in the correct place as well.

What’s odd is that you don’t normally play NSMB with both a Wiimote AND a Nunchuk. Plus, is it a mistake that in the first panel, she has the back side of the Wiimote in her mouth, and then she has the other side in her mouth in the next panel?

It’s interesting that Marigold can magically levitate and manipulate books (including turning their pages) and other objects, but has to hold the game controller in her mouth. Maybe RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) from electronic devices affects her magic at very close range?

Stadistic shows 90% of unicorns can’tbeat level 1 of Super Mario Bros. 75% of them can’t pass the second gomba.

If Marigold thinks that’s challenging, she should try Kid Icarus.

Darn, I was actually kind of hoping Marigold was up to more stuff while they were away, instead of trying (and failing) to beat the game.

It was fun having your mom take you school shopping this week! She really love art!

C’mon Phoebe. It’s really hard to work the controller if you don’t have THUMBS!

@Dana.Do unicorns “Plot”?

wait so marigold dident freeze herself.. im so confused
