    I recognize those staircases. And that’s how I know that this comic was accidentally printed sideways. The camera should be following the same gravity as Phoebe.

    Marigold, really. Did you even ask Mr. Escher if you could use his stairs?

    And written on the wall is “Penrose was here.”

    Just be on the lookout for Jared for the Goblin King.

    Seems a bit extreme when a quick roll in the grass could give Phoebe a similar view…

    This can happen when the cartoonist’s kids rotate the page during coffee breaks.

    Is anyone now thinking of that moment from Family Guy? : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8WLbMmMoII

    And where even IS “here?” I mean, I get it’s referencing M.C. Escher’s works, but where in the world can you go to actually physically visit such a place?

    One of those moments where just assuming “Unicorn!” doesn’t feel quite satisfactory enough, I guess. :P

    I like the place, but I wouldn’t live there.

    I think Phoebe has been watching “Labyrinth”.

    Most likely M. C. Escher work this cartoon is based on, “Relativity”:

    Eh, Marigold still looks the same, no matter WHAT angle you see her from.

    Was there an order for Escher among the comic authors today? Kevin & Kell also did Escher today (Sunday).
