Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 04, 2015
Transcript:
Marigold: You see, Phoebe? Here, you must not brag to me about your opposable thumbs. Phoebe: I think it's a more general statement of pessimism. Like, "definitely NOT thumbs-up." Marigold: In either case, it is not the sign we are looking for. Phoebe: If we don't come to a "Unicorn Crossing" sign soon, I really think you should just cross anyways.

Come on, it’s “No Members of the Black Hand Allowed,” clearly!

Why would a “No Hitchhiking” sign be necessary in the US? Isn’t it illegal in all 50 states?
Yngvar Følling over 9 years ago
Well, there are still “No Smoking” signs in planes even though they should be superfluous by now. Still, it was news to me that there was a general prohibition against hitchhiking, or that there was a specific sign for it.

I assumed it was ‘No Hitchhiking’ even tho we don’t have signage for it over here.

Oh, that sign means “no hitch-hiking allowed”? I never heard of such a sign before.

I always assumed the sign was posted by the Fashion Police, to indicate that “Body Glove”™® brand casual wear was not acceptable in this area.

I have never seen that kind of sign before but the thumb does kind of look like a unicorn’s horn. Way I see it you have two options, paint your own sign or dress Marigold to look like a moose or deer.

The sign in the cartoon could mean no rude gestures in Australia.
It was a surprise to see hitchhikers in Canada in 1999. There are a few things that seem like a time warp in that country, both forwards and backwards.

I think the sign says “Don’t ask for a ride”

Wouldn’t a unicorn be able to teleport across the road?

On an unrelated note: I finally popped my Shout! Factory “Enchanted Edition” blu-ray of Rankin-Bass’ The Last Unicorn in just now, and I don’t think I’ll ever get my jaw locked back into place. It. Is. So. Beautiful. The colors, the sharpness, the sound…people say blu-ray is as close as home media will get to seeing it on the big screen, but I saw TLU in theaters (several times) in the ’80s and it NEVER looked or sounded this good!
