Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 31, 2021

I know Marigold is saying “dark magic”, but the way the text is written makes it look like “dork magic”.

As an owner of a spoiled cat, I can relate to this.

Thought one day is already now.

But that’s their strength I suppose. That many humans and evidently Unicorns are unsuspecting.

Dark magic? I thought it was some sort of parasite.

YES! We always had to get someone else to move the cat—you couldn’t do it yourself. Dark magic indeed! Dark, fluffy, purring and adorable.

and people in northeastern Africa revered felines as deities

This is really accurate.

That’s it. Cuteness overload.

Marigold’s words in the last panel are so true when it comes to some cats!

i, for one, welcome our new feline overlords

I would love to live in a future ruled by cats♡.

“Gladys! Destroyer of Worlds!” Has a good ring to it.

They call it dark magic. I call it YouTube!

I hear you. But that’s a, not o, so nice try. Gladys is so cute! :3

Eh. You probably didn’t have places to be anyway.

In my family we called that having a wart.

“I can’t get up. I have a wart in my lap.”

The medical term is feline paralysis. Fortunately, it’s a temporary condition.

I, for one, welcome our new feline overlords.

A sleeping cat exerts a force of gravity three times its mass.

Do not taunt the Happy Fun Furball.

“One day”? Think about it.

Future overlord?

Marigold could get up while keeping her back level. But how do humans get up without turning into walking chairs?

I used to keep dowels in my room so that when I was struck and stuck by a cat, I could knock the remote control off the bed and drag it to my chair, or roll over a bottle of water. When I drank the water, that led to another issue that was not so easily solved.

“One day”? Have you looked at the internet lately, Marigold?

The term isn’t dark magic.

Actually, a type of cat being cute and wanting to rule the world is Garfield.

Once a cat goes to sleep on me, whether it’s my lap or my back, it’s a sure sign that I’ll be asleep pretty soon, too!

i used to have a cat… :(

I thought cats already WERE our overlords! :P
