Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 13, 2014

Transcript:
Phoebe: Seriously, you should think about something besides unicorns sometimes.
Marigold: Can you think of anything other than unicorns?
Phoebe: Not under pressure!
Marigold: You comprehended my plight.
I just looked through some of the 2012 strips, and I must say. Either Phoebe has grown a lot, or Marigold is shrinking. Phoebe looks huge in today’s strip.
Another author providing a humorous take on unicorns is Craig Shaw Gardner’s “Exploits of Ebenezum” particularly “A multitude of Monsters” beginning with chapter 4.. If you like Terry Pratchett, this would be right up your alley. I suspect Dana may have read this as part of the model for some of Marigold’s unicorn acquaintances. This may be a little difficult to find as it is from the mid 80s SFBC two volume set (volume II was the Wanderings of Wuntvor". I believe the unicorn became a recurring character much to Wuntvor’s distress-it had to do with a certain lack of life experience;-).

I have that problem with horses. If you can’t do it on your horse it isn’t worth doing.

Ok, how about if I change unicorns for rhinos?, does that count?

I know the feeling…I find it hard to think of anything but pony sometimes. I like Marigold’s expression in panel 4.
