Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 22, 2013
Transcript:
Marigold: It is said that the beauty of unicorns is what makes the leaves change. Phoebe: Who says that? Marigold: Mostly unicorns. Phoebe: How do unicorns know? Marigold: I suppose we just assume. Phoebe: I don't believe you until you actually test it. Marigold: Test it how? Phoebe: Stop being beautiful and see what happens. Now do that for three months. Marigold: It is not worth it.

I’m digging the third and fifth (specially the fifth) mini panels.

Wait… what does that say about the “Beauty of Unicorns” if it makes the leaves die and fall off the tree?

I don’t know I think it is worth it, unless a Unicorn can help me rake up the mess they create. Also how does she explain evergreens?

Also I can almost HEAR those faces. It sounds kind of like Plucky Duck fused with Spungebob with a bit of a female Tarzan yell on the last one , just a hint of a Wilhelm scream, a car break and a cat getting its tail stepped on. .

wait..well now the whole sound effects thing changes every time I relook at it. Its kind of random because now its doing a Pinkie Pie fog horn eye roll, slide whistle boink hyena

And now I can imagine the artist holding each of those faces as they drew them.

The bottom middle one looks kind of like Jerry Lewis.
Incidentally, I understand that when Phoebe was very little, the changing of the leaves made her think that the trees sympathized with her sadness of the year coming to a close. But when she got older, she learned it was not so, and that has caused her upset ever since.
That’s right… Phoebe has a beef with the leaf grief relief thief.

Heh. Give me funny over beautiful. Funny lasts well beyond autumn!

Easily on par with my personal favorite from last summer, “Look, now I am standing on no legs!” (Marigold with horn impaled in high tree branch, all four hooves dangling)!

Did something happen to the magnify button? I’m pretty sure I used it a couple of days ago but I’m not seeing it now. I’d love to be able to look at this beautiful artwork more closely.

It is not possible for a unicorn to make an ugly face. Each is beautiful in its own way. The changing of the leaves has to do with the length of the night. Do unicorns influence planetary motion?

Face 3 is my favorite, as Marigold proves she can make a face crazier than Pinkie.

“Hrm,? Phoebe what are you doing with that smart-phone?”“Ohhh, nothing….”

I’ve love how GoComics has removed the useful zoom magnifier and replaced it with a bunch of useless social media crap.

That set of mini-panels needs to be a wallpaper.

Dana, I agree with Reynard61. Such artwork needs to be on computers all over the globe.

Probably one of the best. The drawings are stunning, and a delight!

Found this comic through RocketComic – It’s SO GOOD! Have you considered putting those six shots of Marigold’s faces on a t-shirt/coffee mug?
