Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for June 02, 2021

Laugh all you want, that pawn is one move away from promoting back into a Queen.

And we thought Rainbow Dash was a sore loser.

Marigold, take off!

Is there anything Marigold cannot do without the aide of magic nor unicorn pride?

Worse than cheating is changing part of a collectible set. Like if she permanently altered the Young Justice, Batman The Brave and the Bold, The Spectacular Spider-Man or X-Men Evolution sets I got from fast food restaurants (McDonald’s for the 1st three, Burger King for the X-Men Evolution set) from 2001-2011, ruins the sentimental value of having them all:-(. Yep all 8 releases from those toy waves:-).

“Searching For a Fair Game”

Unicorn, Phoebe. Just unicorn.

Not to be nitpicky (OK, I’m being nitpicky), but the board is set up wrong. Light squares go in the right hand corners. I do give Dana credit for drawing a full 8×8 board, which is rarely seen when chess is depicted in the comics.

I’m surprised that Marigold didn’t start out by changing her knights into unicorns. With all the powers of a knight, a queen, and a manticore.

MS. BIG FANCY BUTT! YOU WILLN’T CHEAT YOU BIG FANCY BUTT!!!!!

Marigold must not know much about chess. A Pawn in that position will be just as effective in trapping Marigold’s King, as long as the Pawn is covered by a piece that can attack and capture that King if it captures the Pawn or tries to move diagonally next to it.

Now that’s funny!

I think a pawn in that position is just as dangerous as a king.

That’s a cute outfit … with cute feet.

I’ll bet you a dollar that that is a “Daaad” complaint never heard in any other household with children.

If I’m not mistaken, that would have been checkmate.

Hey DANA SIMPSON, (if that IS your real name), if you are too busy surfing or flying VR drones, or whatever it is you do, i will write you some new episodes.. is there a Phoebe and Her Unicorn writer’s bible? (i think i get the characters pretty well, though)…

Also, i will make you some models… let’s make a Phoebecorn video game… seriously… you know you want to! Did you sell the video game rights yet? hmu!

i think Marigold should transform the knight into a unicorn, a pice that can checkmate the king whereever it is.
