Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for March 25, 2014
Transcript:
Phoebe: My dad installed new ad-blocking software on my phone! Marigold: Unicorns have a spell that does the same thing. No unicorn has been forced to see or hear an advertisement in many years. Phoebe: BUY A CAR, BUY A CAR, JIM'S USED CARS IS NOT THAT FAR Marigold: I cannot see or hear you, and am therefore unperturbed!

OTOH, this makes it easy to sneak up on a unicorn. She doesn’t even need to be staring at her reflection.

I don’t know if Marigold is talking serious or is joking.

So if I want to hide from a unicorn, be an advertisement? Also how do unicorns know what brand of coat polish or special feed to buy?

A couple weeks ago, I amazed my kids by being able to recite and/or sing without hesitation a bunch of local commercials from my youth, decades ago. I knew off the top of my head the address of a transmission shop, the directions to a Chevy dealership, the number of registered pharmacists at an all-night drug store and the location and hours of a jewelry outlet.
My message to them: Advertising works.
