Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 30, 2018

They have a playlist of classic rock on a loop playing over their loudspeakers.

Would it help if Phoebe sang “Under the sea”?

I would prefer her to wear a skirt or short and flipflops or sandals with that shirt.It is still summer.

No going down the waterslide head-first, Marigold, unless your goal is to make some unlucky children into kid-kebab. ;)

I’m sure there are other Little Mermaid songs that can be sung! Or even other water songs from other movies! :)

I’m a trifle curious how Marigold will navigate a water slide. Magnificently, of course, but….

Speaking of buts, plot shot in panel 1! ;-)

I think that Marigold may learn to regret insisting, especially if the worse comes to the worst and Phoebe gets some material on her that she would rather not have publicised! Songs like “The Fat-Butted Unicorn Got Stuck On The Water Slide” or whatever. :)

Ooh, what about the Shield of Boringness? “Sorry young lady no pets allowed.” or “Hey you can’t bring your donkey on the waterslide!” to which Phoebe might answer: “She’s not a donkey, she’s a Unicorn!” Teenage lifeguard (bored voice): “yeah, yeah, sure whatever you say kid.” or Marigold in a fit of pique, would reveal herself to the bored lifeguard or guy at the gate, blinding them forever.

BUZZ Okay, now continue, but in the style of Whitney Houston . . .

Oh great, are we gonna start the “ai” versus “ae” debate again?

Hmmm, I wonder how unicorn magic is affected by chlorine? Tune in tomorrow …?

For myself, I always said that if I ever had a soundtrack underneath my life I’d want it to be “Man in Motion” from “St. Elmo’s Fire.”

Who wears jeans in summer?!?! I get that riding a unicorn might be uncomfortable, but you could wear leggings or something.

Splish splash, I was takin’ a bath! :D
