Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 25, 2018

Makes perfect sense to me, Phoebe.

Gonna go out on a limb here and take a wild guess: Dakota’s last name is “Reed”.

So Blartholomew’s fellow trolls don’t always say “blart” (I was also taken by surprise by the “blärt” with an umlaut).

You didn’t think Todd would refer to her as “Rar” did you?

So, a goblin needs a collar and a tie to be formal? Shirt and pants appear to be optional…

Dakota gets way too much undeserved respect.

So, if they can say other words, then “blart” must communicate with inflection on the word, as with “I am Groot.”

Reed between the lines, Phoebe!

Ugliest Goblin princess?

BLÄÄRT!

Inflections are everything in this particular language…

You know, I think that’s the first time we’ve seen a goblin say something that’s not “blart,” so it’s still significant.

Same here Phoebe!

Necktie reaches the floor. Cute.

nice blart.

I still like “Heavenly Nostrils” as the name for this strip. :)

Google “THE Zathras scene” and watch the YouTube video with that name. It will explain everything.

Obviously, Dakota Reed does not translate into goblin.

It seems a lot like hearing the “News in Saami” here in Norway, which is on for a few minutes every day on the state owned NRK channel. Sentence after sentence of what sounds completely random to me, interspersed with the occasional familiar sounding name. No offense to any Saami, of course. Your language is just incomprehensible to this uncultured Southern Norwegian.

I wonder if these goblins also throw bombs in the shape of a halloween pumpkin.

The MC’s tie’s almost as tall as he is! I wonder how often he trips over it? ;P
