Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 09, 2021

That first panel is probably the most terrifying thing in the entire strip.

last time I was this early, the strip was still called Girl

Attack on Titan be like…

I’m not gonna lie…EVERYTHING in her mouth is beautifully majestic!

I just keeping hearing a donkey bray.

Also, “MAN THE HELMS! DIVE! DIVE!”

is there nothing Marigold can show off?

And thus Marigold begins her career of moonlighting as a narwhal.

I bet that Simpson took a bet about being able to draw that first panel.

Remember the Disney whale that could sing duets with itself? It had two uvulae.

Years later, Phoebe would credit this moment for her career in otolaryngology.

First panel a perfect logo for any hockey team named Hamilton Hiccups!

I hate to say it but, her nostrils look rather ordinary, don’t they?

Yep. That’s the tooth.

We looking a gift unicorn in the mouth?

Gasp! Unicorns have way more teeth than horses!?!

1st panel caption “The last thing a carrot sees.”

To be perfectly honest… she does have heavenly nostrils

One of those conversation where you don’t want to know how the topic had even come up in the first place.

The person you should be asking is a dental hygienist.

Sigh…unicorn.

I’m putting the first panel on a shirt.

Careful with the word “uvula”.

So horrifying. There are just some things we were never meant to see!

But . . . where are the sparkles?

The last thing sweet hay sees.

Never look a gift unicorn in the mouth…

1. That first panel NEEDS to be a blacklight poster!2. Does this mean we can finally tell how old Marigold is?

That first panel had me laughing, the punch line was almost irrelevant.

Sorry there’s no picture to go with the video here, but this was the first thing I thought of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRoGEWj6ka4

My! Look how large and white your teeth is Marigold. You must have brush and floss everyday. Mistaken Phoebe for Red Riding Hood. And Marigold is the big, grey, bad, wolf. Keep away Phoebe before you be a snack.

Very impressive! So unicorns are more like humans than we thought. Horses, for example, do not have uvulas—apparently only humans and possibly a few small baboons do. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1408233/

Indeed—hard to un-see that first panel. The uvula joke made me laugh, though.

It reminds me of a similar “Garfield” comic, too …

Yup…shocked me 2.

hee-haw!

when, i checked this had 69 comments, 93 likes, and 13 pins

numerology, tho

“A little shadow on that lower molar, Marigold, but so far, nothing to worry about. We’ll keep on eye on it. See you in six months!”

Ladies and gentlemen, this is true horror.

Unfortunately, her jaws are locked in place. :P

heee-hawwww
