Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for April 05, 2015

Marigold has said it countless times: “Unicorn!”

You’re bound to be successful when fishing for compliments when you’re al-lure-ing.

The first Sunday P&HU strip for the newspaper run, although I still wish my local newspaper where I live (Chicago Tribune) would pick up this strip, but hasn’t for now…

She’s good.Ill bet she’ll be angling for more…

It’s a good one today.

Walleye bet creel be hearing more of this as the day goes on…

Dana, if you ever do another strip about Phoebe and Marigold going fishing together, next time I’d like to see them wearing the standard Pacific Northwest fishing gear.Seriously, the image of Marigold in chest waders would be ab-so-lute-ly PRICELESS!

Too bad they’re not going fishing for Kokanee, they’d clean up

Clever! An excellent first Sunday strip for the new readers.

For a second I thought that Marigold was going to fish for compliments FROM fish.

I didn’t know you can fish Phoebe.

Marigold is fishing for compliments.

thank you. I’m not missing a strip.

These overalls looks a bit familiar ;)

I love Phoebe’s expression in the seventh panel. She reads her new friend well and knows ain’t noBODY goin’ noWHERE until Marigold gets her compliment.

Love the perspective in frame five.

Oh drat! Some of the good puns were taken.

Oh, well, any fin is possible if you don’t trout yourself!

(hears sheep)

Hmm, yeah, that baaa-ad, isn’t it? :-P

UNICORN!!!

pH looks kinda like the girl`s best friend from “whisper of the heart” in that hat

Does Phoebe really fish? Or was this just a good way to introduce “fishing for compliments?” I wonder what she was going to use for bait and where she’d put the fish if she caught any. It was cute, anyway.
