Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 12, 2013
Transcript:
Dad: Cool! We're covered if a volcano forms under our house! Oo, or if the house is struck by space debris, either natural OR man-made! Whoa! In case of a nuclear strike, we're covered, but ONLY IF- Mom: Do you remember WHY you're reading it? Dad: Oh, right, right. There isn't anything here about holes punched in the wall by errant unicorns. Phoebe: Are you sure that space stuff doesn't apply We were playing "Princess Nebula, Rider of Streaking Comets." Marigold: I may have streaked with excessive aplomb.

True fact: some insurance companies WILL cover you against alien abductions.
They need to get on the ball and start covering against errant unicorns, though.

That must have hurt.

“Streaking comets”? Since when do they wear clothes?

Homeowners insurance in Ohio does cover volcanoes.

You don’t need to a claim for that. A little joint compound and some paint will fix that. Its nice to see Marigold can identify with SciFi. So are unicorns really magical or do they just have incredibly advanced technology?

If you combine your Unicorn damage coverage with Griffin liability coverage and don’t take the Sonic Rainboom rider, you can save up to 24%.

So Marigold’s magic is not powerful enough to fix a hole in the wall.

Cool! A galloping unicorn in the house!

When I saw the last panel with out reading it I thought they were trying to hang a painting. Either way not a good use for a unicorn.

it could go up like those times we get her and Marigold playing super heroes.

So…More proof the Unicorns are not perfect.

Great parent talk guys. Stay together you two!

Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology.

I dare say the claim will be accepted, because there won’t be any clause /excluding/ unicorn damage. And the SHIELD OF BORINGNESS means that the insurance company won’t see there being anything particularly unusual about having a unicorn in the house, either.

Lets see Im covered for Tsunamies (which is weird since I live 6 hours from the ocean), Godzilla attacks (dont live in Japan), a flying saucer piloted by a purple alien with 10 eyes and speaks a mix of german and japanese (wow specific). Also Im covered for the upcoming zombie appoculapse…but nothing about a unicorn poking halls into the wall

And here I thought the punchline was going to be, “but we’re not covered for flooding…”

The catch with those unusual insurance coverages (alien abductions, unicorns, etc.) is that if you have a claim, you have to prove what caused the damage.
