Transcript:
Phoebe: *snif* Marigold: Are you crying? Phoebe: This movie always makes me cry. Marigold: Then why do you watch it? Phoebe: Because I love it! Marigold: I thought humans found crying unpleasant. Phoebe: It all depends. There's good crying, too. Movie crying is good crying. Marigold: What about shedding a tear for one's own tragic loveliness? Phoebe: If that works for you. Marigold: *snif* Yes, this is quite nice!

They must be watching The Last Unicorn. It’s heartbreaking in its own right.

Omega – totally called it. The Last Unicorn is the only movie that does that to me every time.

this reminds me of the scene from sleepless in seattle where the woman is trying to tell her husband, tom hanks and tom’s son about an affair to remember, and starts crying, then tom hanks makes fun of her by receiting the last part of dirty dozen, and crying during it

I had a HN dream last night. I went on to the site and the daily strip was gone and in its place was a video upload of the 1st ever HN animated movie Story by Dana Simpson art by Lynn Johnston Music by David Rose. Phoebe voice by Melissa Gilbert and was on a trip to a camp where every one who was camping there knew magic. She was surrounded by unicorns and wizards and witches and her whole family was there too. That fluffy Unicorn from Despicable Me was in the camp as well. Phoebe and Marigold went around having fun, marigold casting spells on Phoebe all day until she used up her magic and needed a rest. Florance and LSH then told Phoebe that to help Marigold get her magic back she had to go to the western rodeo town in the land were magic is forbidden and magical creatures are hunted and win the horse contest. So she had to paint Marigold brown with white spots and hid her horn and put a wig on her tail. This part was live action. The jarring change in styles woke me up. It was a vivid dream and you were there and you and you …you guys kept commenting that the movie was great but art wasn’t Dana’s style. It was fun to be there but theres no place like http://www.gocomics.com/ (Home)

I know MAR would cry during Snow White, all those tough guys weeping with the candle drips, little guy sobbing his self sick – they’re about to bury her because they don’t know she’s still alive, .She didn’t do anything to deserve being murdered. – Whew! Powerful stuff that tragedy of beauty.
