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.
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

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

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.

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).
