Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 24, 2021

Ask a question on the internet, and you may not get an answer. But say something you know is wrong, and everyone will try to correct you.

Marigold, a unicorn who can get wi fi signal didn’t bother doing research?

What is “free time” to a kid like Max (and Elliott of Daddy’s Home) who’s constantly on their mobile device?

Sensing something and DOING something ABOUT IT are quite distinct.

Well said, Max.

Also he’d be spending most of his time in D.C.

“True, If you tell a person there is a billion stars in the universe, he’ll believe you, but tell the same person the paint on a bench is wet he’ll have to touch it to make sure”!

Max: “Captain Knowledge to the RESCUE!”

Phoebe: “Have you ever actually saved anyone?”

Max: “Only from ignorance.”

Phoebe: “…”

A fairy ring is a ring of basidiomycetous mushrooms produced at the periphery of a body of mycelium which has grown outward from an initial growth point and that increases in diameter from year to year; also, a ring of luxuriant vegetation associated with these mushrooms that also increases in diameter from year to year.

Now I’m wondering why Max is just randomly wandering around in the forest. I mean, we know why Phoebe does it, but Max is addicted to his phone, so he doesn’t need to travel.

Polygons are too time consuming to make.

I mean, he’s got a point.

I thought Max’s superpower was the ability to appear out of nowhere at a moment’s notice.

I’m listening…..

So, in the next strip, will we a goblin setting out more circles of mushrooms? Maybe it is a goblin restaurant, and they give out free mushrooms.

Maybe it works only within a limited radius. After all, the Spider Sense doesn’t tingle from threats a hundred miles away.

Actually, faerie rings exist as somewhere to store fungus…

I wonder how often Max does a “Well, actually”.

Dana, one of your VERY best!!!! (re: Max’s last comment.)

Dude wears an Evergreen State College shirt. Of course he knows all the answers :). Especially about faerie rings.

Usually it takes hearing an error and knowing the right answer sense.

People that think they know everything are very annoying to those of us that do…

Maybe that’s Max’s calling: Providing enlightenment to the masses! :D
