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

The “silence” is golden

Probably better that way. Some creatures have problematic opinions.

I’ll bet the creatures are saying, “Keep it down, will ya!?”

So everything goes back to normal tomorrow? Upon having the silencing spell undone, Marigold narcissitically brags all over again?

This strip depends… a lot… on the words that go with some often plain (albeit mostly pleasant) images.

Profound, Phoebe!

I like Marygold’s smile in the last panel.

This is why I do not talk to my horse. She prefers nonverbal communion.

The beauty of nature is not only visual. It’s also… Wait. What are those 2 guys doing by that tre— BZZZZ-WAAAAAAAAAAAH—

love these comics they are my favorite

“Take a break, Lorax, we can speak for ourselves, thank you.”

All nature says the same thing.. Defend against me without ceasing or perish.

No doubt the forest continued to have its say. It’s just harder to hear it when there’s other noise.

Now playing “Enjoy the Silence” by Depeche Mode.

Love it! Perhaps the first poem I memorized was The Wise Old Owl.There was an old owl who lived in an oak.The more he lived, the less he spoke.The less he spoke, the more he learned.Why aren’t we like that wise old bird?

Hmm, I like this way that I remember it better than some versions I just looked up.

And the forest seems to be saying, “SHUT UP, ALREADY!!!!!”
