Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 25, 2019

The chessboard is suddenly the proper dimensions.

I kind of wonder what Max is seeing there now

Marigold really should read the dictionary. OUR dictionary that is.

God forbid one would actually improve themselves! NOOOOO – if you can’t win, change the rules!!!

1. Just go by Kirk logic. You’re merely altering the condition of the game.

2. Incidentally I wonder if Phoebe’s dad ever used Game Genie on his NES time.

Mari’s definitions are flexible. Very.

Unicorns never cheat……They quit and walk away.

“We had to ruin the game in order to save the game.”

So . . . if both players are unicorns, I guess the better cheater wins?

I propose a compromise: let the wookie win.

I would’ve thought that unicorn chess would involve magic that Phoebe can’t do.

Ah! Unicorns use a Captain Kirk solution.

It’s a standard textbook at Trump University…

In the Army we played Atomic Chess. If you were losing the conventional warfare you could use the nuclear option. Slap the board knocking pieces all over. Mutual Assured Destruction. The darker humor of living with the perils of atomic warfare.
