that is a GREAT way to introduce us and Phoebe to a new magical friend! Also its ok to kill Phoebe off since we have plenty of Becky Down. Or we can play Ace Attorney Becky Wright or join the Order of the Becky. So many jokes I can do now This is Hot Stuff! I’m On Fire! but yes this was great. you took an old cartoon gag and made it work logically. Also We’re growing our list of characters, Becky, Todd, Lord Did Answer Pixie have a proper name? Do only Unicorns have fancy names? What’s our next magical creature going to be? There are so many I want to see.
Add me to the list of people LOVING the Ker-Splode panel…and Becky’s ash on poor little Marigold’s nose.
@ Dana: The artwork lately is stupendous (ok, as always), but you have NOTHING to prove – since the beginning, and most assuredly since just before Valentine’s, you’ve proven day in and day out that you are the best in the business today. You are knocking them out of the ballpark every day and making others wish they could have done what you do
Lord help me, how I LOVE this strip. My 10 year old daughter does too – We can’t start our school day without seeing what Marigold and Phoebe are up to!
Not to mention the little village of Fuddlecumjig in Oz, where all the people are 3-D jigsaw puzzles who explode (“scatter themselves”) whenever they hear tourists coming.

Phoebe and Becky remind me of when Harry met Fawkes.

“KER-SPLODE!” Sounds like Dana might be a Rip Haywire reader.

Now you know how Phoenix Arizona got its name; that’s what it feels like there in the summertime

Hmmm…If Marigold inhales the ashes, then sneezes them out, I guess Becky will be reborn covered in mucus. Gross :P

Hmm…I wouldn’t expect a Phoenix to have a name like "Becky,: but then again I don’t know many Phoenixes.
