Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for February 22, 2022

I’m calling it: Max is gonna use his nerd powers to figure out where in the solar system Marigold decided to hide while pretending to be a planet.

I don’t work here, Phoebe.

Important relationship advice: You should notice. (Assuming you want a relationship.)

What? No sigh?

Sheesh, Max, didn’t your mothers teach you anything when it comes to making friends and being there for them?

Pretty needy Phoebe

Someone has a serious case of Unicorn Withdrawal Syndrome …

Well, I’m sad too. Bring back Marigold, Dana!

Marigold had better have a really good excuse.

Phoebe does not want to be sad alone, or she is looking for sympathy…!

Phoebe needs to group ger friends and try to find Marigold together.

I think dad’s right and Marigold came across a mirror or clear pond.

I really hope that Marigold isn’t just trying to avoid Phoebe.

Marigold is rubbing off on Phoebe.

Be useful, Max, or begone.

The equivalent of every high school girlfriend is Phoebe in the last panel.

Eh, if I’m sad, it’s better if anyone DOESN’T notice.

I mean, sheesh, Max, show a little sensitivity here. :P

Maybe Marigold finally found Planet Oat. She would want to stay there.

I’m pretty new here. Has there been any indication that Max is on the spectrum?

“I look sad and need you to notice” is a helpful instruction to some of us.

Phoebe’s exercising her woman skills.er female prerogative

clueless nerd boy is clueless… (story of my life. :-) )

Is she on Planet Oat, or is she Planet Oat?

Thanks to cell phones, nobody looks at each other anymore.

A lesson for both man (be more observant) and woman(be honest and more obvious as to your need)…..

(Max): “Ahem! I was READING!!!”

This is good training for Max, for when he and Phoebe start dating in a few years.

This will get interesting when Dakota gets involved!

I am starting to feel conviced that Max is somewhere on the autism spectrum as a headcannon.
