Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for January 26, 2023

Or is that just the fact that you are a goblin?

What you’re feeling, Dakota, is a little something called “Feelings”!

Dana’s books do that for me.

What a eureka moment for Dakota.

“Are books suppose to do that?”.Yes, as long as people stop burning and/or banning them.

I’ve know people whose goal in life seems to be minimizing what they have to learn at any given moment.

No, they’re supposed to be boring and pointless. You must be reading it wrong.

We learn more nowadays than at any previous point in history as there is so much information, misinformation and disinformation readily available. There is greater understanding but also greater mythology.

“Walk a mile in another person’s shoes” seems to fit here!

I’m glad to see that Dakota learned something new and positive, I hope it will help her to grow as a person!

Sadly, I have a hunch they’ll not remember a bit of this when they change back. As Merlin said in the film Excalibur, “for it is the doom of men that they forget.”

And then Hunter S. Thompson comes long….

So that’s it then? We need to turn people into goblins to make them appreciate books? Marigold, where are you?

By the way, I said last comic they’ll probably cry once they’re done. Seems like I’ll win that bet soon enough.

“Seeing from YOUR perspective, on the other hand, Phoebe…”

You need to read more books, girl.

Congratulations, Dakota, you just had your first epiphany.

I’m more and more sure Dakota will decide to stay a goblin for a while. I wonder if she will read the “Never Ending Story”, “Harriet the Spy” and “Matilda” in the near future.

There’s still a big difference between book blarts and street blarts.

No hugging, no learning.

I would think BEING a goblin like that would be a big help with that.

if the goblins are the ones been stealing all my stuff, i should read this book so iiiiii know where they are coming from…!
