Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for March 20, 2014

Not as philosophical as “How many angels can fit on the head of a pin?” but it will do.

Hind-legs first…

A Unicorn riding a Roomba.Your argument is invalid.

I wanna see a GIF of this!!

She must be levitating. My horse would crush a Roomba with just one hoof.

Unicorn! Or more generally—magical creatures don’t have to follow the laws of physics unless it’s convenient.

I suggest a jump to a side.

You’ll dismount perfectly, Marigold – 10.0.

Agreed Unicorn.

I love seeing Marigold, magical creature that she is, deigning to have such mundane fun. She’s not only magical; she’s a good sport. I loved her scarf and leg warmers. I wonder if she’ll wear a hat for spring.

I just noticed this on the sidebar:

“Heavenly Nostrils will be running reruns from time to time over the next few weeks, as the creator focuses on refining a project. New strips will resume soon. Thank you for your patience! "

The magic is that Marigold is able to transfer her weight to the lampshade, hence she does not crush the roomba but the lamp was not designed to hold the weight transferred to the shade. Probably Marigold meant to distribute her weight to the entire lamp but the roomba has slightly disturbed her equipoise.

what is a Roomba?

4 consecutive repeats!!!!!

mmmmmh
