Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 14, 2014

I guess nicknames aren’t really a thing in unicorn society.

Same difference, Marigold.

Who puts the GOLD in Marigold? Oh Yah! but honestly I always liked Pheebs.

Also I wounder if Phoebe’s name was created with this exact joke in mind. though this could ahve worked with Nadine and Naaaaay

Is this a new one? The copyright byline is missing.

Seldom a dull moment with Mari around.

Now, now, Phoebe, be polite. We all get to have our names pronounced as we wish. Plus, remember what happened when a certain frenemy of yours was gifted with magic hair by Marigold. Yeessh!

I see now.

Nicker-names? Neigh, I say. I Canter allow this.

Nicker-names? Neigh, I say. I Canter allow this.

Nicker-names? Neigh, I say.

Phoebe shortened is pronounced “Feeb.”Marigold shortened is pronounced “Mare.”Heavenly Nostrils shortened is pronounced “Holy Noses!”OK I’ll stop.

Pheebs

I wonder if this is in response to people calling her Mari in the comments?

“But they call me Gracie for short.”

Her name was McGill and she called herself Lil, but everyone knew her as Nancy.

I will go with Avalon (webcomic) and say “Feeb.”

I can’t stop laughing at this one XD

This strip (not this particular one, but all of them) is one of my top three or four favorites. It’s also one of the few I enjoy reading all the comments, especially kaykeser’s.
