Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for October 14, 2015
Transcript:
Dad: When I was Phoebe's age, Rainbow Castle Demolisher was my favorite thing. Every day I would gallop straight home from school... I couldn't wait to get my hooves on it again! Dad: I was CHAMPING AT THE BIT to get playing. Marigold: You are pandering to me. Dad: A little. I want someone else to get into this game so we can discuss it.

Uh-oh. Step carefully, brother. Fan “discussions” often end in obscenities and thrown controllers.
I would’ve flipped out if Mari had said “You are throwing pandas at me,” but I suppose that’s a tad obscure.
“I guess it’s because nopony else—”“And now you have ruined the moment.”

One of the things I love about this strip is that the parents are so young, so of-the-moment, instead of being stuck in some 1950s-US time-warp.

Is Marigold “whinnying” the game?

I’ll second that! So tired of people saying “chomping at the bit”…that’s just a hungry horse, not one rarin’ to go!

But a “bit”? To a unicorn wouldn’t that be a form of horror?

I think the bit and bridle may be reserved for more "adult’ unicorn evenings.
