Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for October 25, 2012

Uh… since when do camels have a spiraly horn out its forehead?

A Unicamel? Or, since we’re almost to Halloween, a Camelcorn?

Orion

In children’s Nativity plays, camel humps usually have eye holes at least!

Ooooh, clever! ) But what if Marigold will meet a real unicamel out there??

I would think a Centaur would be an obvious choice. This mytholgical creature was inspired by the unity acheived between the horse and its rider.

Marigold can magically disguise Phoebe to be a unicorn.

Being a Centaur is the ultimate guy fantasy. To have the body of a stallion and still have a pair of thumbs, plus all the ladies are topless.

Well, it’s hard to be sure about centaur nudity. After all, if we didn’t know any better, we might think from their art that Greek humans ran around naked all the time, too. They did spend a lot more time nude than we do, but they did normally wear clothes in public on a day-to-day basis.

put wings on Phoebe and they could be an Alicorn.

A centaur may look unbalanced, but with its organs in the lower body, its torso would have less mass than a human. A horse carries 60% of its weight on the front end as it is. With the ability to lean its torso forward and backward the centaur may perform better than one might expect.

I can see Marigond’s wanting to hide Phoebe, but would she really lower herself to imitate a camel? From what I hear, they smell and spit a lot. Not very dignified.

I just hope the mythical camelcorn or unicamel or whatever it would be called does not spit like a regualr camel does. That’s just nasty.

I wouldn’t try it Phoebe if you want to get candy.

Some thing tells me that Unicorns have a rep to protect about not being around humans or at least not weird ones.

I’m getting a sneaky suspicion that Marigold is ashamed of Phoebe & doesn’t want to introduce her to her friends & family in Unicorn Land. Naw, that can’t be it, can it??
