Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for January 04, 2013

I’m surprised Max didn’t ask for Phoebe to spell “nuts”. ::grins::

Learning should be more cooperative than competitive.

I like the Dick DeBartolo text stylings :)

Im excited to see how things go and honestly I can’t decide what I want to see happen because my mind has thought up so many cool ways to take this strip! not just in regards to the spelling bee but in regards to the strip overall. but I know it always goes the way that I never expected but also the way thats just perfect. It’s like I can see unlimited possibilities with no wrong choice and it just gives me the desire to choose all of the above. If only I could fine another masterfully drawn and written strip about kids and unicorns that was already on that path not taken.

Just spell it Phoebe.

Watch her get tripped up in the competition trying to spell Unicorn.

Charlie Brown: Beagle — B E A G E L. Augh!

1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades, I occasionally had to dance around the fact that I was the only kid in the school who had tested with a higher IQ than the principal’s daughter. Once the two of us were caught in a spelling-bee sudden death that seemed to last for hours. I eventually went out on a technicality (didn’t repeat the word before spelling it), and I decided to keep my mouth shut about her having committed the same mistake five minutes earlier. (Well, she was a nice kid, I was feeling chivalrous, and, besides, I didn’t see any way out of it that wouldn’t be lose-lose for me.)

Or I should say that’s one of the reasons.

But what was the point of Agincourt and Waterloo if poor British children have to be forced to spell words the French way?
