Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for June 21, 2019

Hopefully they don’t crash into Spaceman Spiff’s ship.

This orb represents the blue stripe, to such a degree that it turned Marigold’s tongue blue. They should probably use the red one for the return trip.

12 cup holders… are Phoebe and Marigold going to have six drinks between the two of them along the way?

“It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!”

“That’s for a couple of 6-packs for us. My family get-togethers are always B.Y.O.B. events…”

But no complimentary drinks?

Why twelve I wonder, your majesty?

They must have put a chair in the orb for Phobe’s benefit. Marigold and other unicorns don’t need chairs.

Shouldn’t that be Nostrils’ family reunion?

Hey Marigold, Mr. Peabody knows you stole and repainted the Wayback machine?

I expected a rainbow orb to have more than one color . . .

That’s higher tech-looking than I was honestly expecting.

Did the orb already pick up her bags? You know, with all the extra socks and whatnot . . .

ORB!

but…its not rainbow colored, its just blue.

Twelve-cup holders! For people who enjoy three-quart beverages!

Good transportation!

Why do I think of Willy Wonka’s glass elevator?

Who would need that many cup holders?

Why would unicorns need cupholders?

Marigold’s tongue is blue.

Pretty plain for being a “rainbow orb”!

You only have one mouth though.

you’d think a rainbow pod would be rainbow colored

And later that day, the local news media were flooded with reports of a UFO! :D
