Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 18, 2019

Counting sheep doesn’t work in real life.

If sleep wasn’t fun, why would we get tempted to to it when we’re bored?

Does Marigold realize she just ruined her plan by bringing up “disguise kit”?

No matter what she does, the count is always one.

With Marigold jumping over the bed, I’m sure nobody else in the house would get to sleep.

Maybe Marigold could ask Florence and Ferny to help her.

Counting sheep is dull; counting fire engines is more interesting. I learned that on Sesame Street.

A for effort, Marigold

I hope in the next we see her diguised as a sheep.

I’d think the noise of hooves hitting the floor over and over would make it pretty hard to sleep.

A different kind of night mare.

I think we need Adrian Ramos here for some help. (“One. ZZZ…”)

I don’t know about the rest of you, but a large very heavy creature wearing a sharp horn leaping over me repeatedly would, in my case, be more likely to encourage bed-wetting…

This is exactly how I don’t fall asleep: My thoughts are too entertaining!

I love that cool nighttime color palette.

And Marigold has a lovely silvery glow.

And Phoebe is breaking the fourth wall in the last panel.
