Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for June 17, 2020

Human is the species, person is the level of intellect.

Someone should’ve stopped Phoebe.

Phoebe needs to brush up on her Pastel Unicorn terminology.

Unicorns are people.

That statement is in no way similar to the statement that soylent green is people.

I feel like this every single day I try to communicate with other people.

Just don’t take it person-ally, Phoebe!

“…than you.”

I’m going to start using “you’re such a person” more often.

Do unicorns have “personalities”?

Can humans have “unicornalities”?

Any creature with a person-ality is a person.

No other humans.

Phoebe should be saying “I am sorry I insulted you” instead of worrying that she set herself up so she can’t figure out if Marigold is insulting or complimenting her. But!—Phoebe’s very young yet, and she’s very good-hearted. She’ll learn better, and then she’ll do better.

Pheebs, you’ve been Unicorned!

She was totally correct in her first sentence.

“Oy! Unhand me, you, you-you…PERSON!” — the parrot on the Starship Titanic

I wouldn’t take it personally, Phoebe.

This is so a conversation I would have with a unicorn or other magical creature?

nah… if they did it would wreck this strip… and what would they say? “Hey Phoebe, if you do that you will put yourself in an awkward position” She would do it just to spite them….

She’s got PERSON-ality!

Phoebe, just don’t take it personally…
