Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for March 14, 2020

I mean, it could have been worse. Dark Marigold could have come out as a human woman with Dark Phoebe as a unicorn filly.

Actually, that would have been awesome.

Apparently not too dark or vain to say “Thank you”.

er… you’re welcome?

A truly dark Marigold would have a chainsaw attached to her head in place of the horn (one can be found in a comic called Modest Medusa).

Dark isn’t evil, just hard to see in.

And you can rawk that monocle!

Wait…. now I need to meet Dark Phoebe!!

Dark Marigold seems nice enough but Dark Phoebe would be more dangerous than Dark Phoenix.

Wait until you see DARKOTA!!!

I wonder if Dark Phoebe looks like Dakota.

Don’t take darkness lightly, Mari!

I was going to say, that’s different from non-dark Marigold…how, exactly, dark Marigold?

So Dark Marigold isn’t really dark — she’s just a Gothicorn.

sigh. Self-knowledge is always a good thing.

If that portal should snap shut somebody’s gonna’ have a great wall trophy…

This resonates. Some years ago I had two friends with the same name. One had been a regular member of an organization I was in but gradually came less often. The other joined later, and when the first did come to a meeting I got to introduce them. I used hand gestures to indicate which I was referring to as I said

Jane? Jane.

Jane? Jane.

As far as the question of ‘dark’ being, or not being, evil, I will just repeat a saying that came to me a long time ago:

‘It is better to blow out one candle than to curse the light.’
