Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 10, 2021

“Did it work? YAY! IT WORKED!!!”

Does it only work when Phoebe is the one who presses it, or can any fool with a means to poke something activate it?

Next we need the automatic thought balloon engine to kick in.

Ah, the sounds of silence.

bring on the pantomiming

Boop!

Grade school teachers of the modern world give a collective “If only….”.

What?

If only

Amazing!

There’s no way Phoebe isn’t yelling the worst swears she can think of in panel 4. Swears like FU—

And in about ten years, Phoebe and her boy friend will have a lot of fun with that.

I guess this means that Dana can take a break from having to think of any gags to put in the word balloons.

What happens if you tickle her there?

Reminds me of one of the stock panels for Speechless. Just two days after the creator died, GoComics mercilessly wiped the archives.

That says it all…

She also seems to have muted herself!

“talk to phoeeeebeeee”

… wait …hey… ? darn

Marigold is doubtless saying “Unicorn.” (She’s very one-track.)

Third panel- “I can’t hear anything……” / Fourth panel- “IT WORKS! IT WORKS!” / “Of course, it works! You owe me three apples and a bale of artisinal hay.”

Sometimes I wish I could do that to my little brother.

It could come in handy whenever Dakota shows up for another round of insults. :)
