Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for March 23, 2023

Someone should teach Marigold what happens when you assume.

not just giraffes, Marigold, but also rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses, cheetahs, gazelles, zebras, hyenas, and other safari animals

They never say anything… Giraffes ARE smart! A the saying goes…

“It is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are dumb than it is to open your mouth and prove it.”

They’ve already realized that it’s pointless to try to tell us anything.

That’s stretching it a bit, Mari.

Giraffes built the first spaceship, but the pilot didn’t fit in it, so it never launched.

I wondered about that!

But you are the most beautiful, right Marigold!

I thought it was dolphins… Or ravens…

I’d always assumed it was the dolphins because they spend most of their time having fun in the ocean, where we waste our time trying to to make rich people richer. I’ve heard that the white mice have us both beat.

Giraffes are demonic spawn.

No, hamsters and dolphins! RIP Doug adams

The best ones are the quiest

Giraffes are so brainy that they can afford to fight each other with their heads! Quite a site!

GIRAFFES: THE SMARTEST ‘PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN’ COMIC STRIP CHARACTERS!!! —Phelous joke

We need to meet a giraffe in the comic now so we can confirm that. And besides, a giraffe friend for the crew could be fun.

Also, that’s pretty significant, Marigold voluntarily admitting that unicorns aren’t actually the best at everything. Normally you’d have to twist her hoof pretty hard to get her to acknowledge that.

Yes, giraffes have very high intelligence.

(Think about it.)

Giraffes stand head and shoulders above other ungulates.

True, but they do have a nasty habit of looking down at everyone!

I’ve heard that giraffe vocalizations are outside our hearing range. Makes sense with the length of their vocal cords.

They did survive in “Last of Us”.

Everyone knows mice are the smartest creatures on Earth. Of course, mice are paradimensional beings from another universe, so the smartest creatures native to Earth are dolphins.

Mr. Ed doesn’t speak unless he has something to say.

Do they really count as they were originally from the Boiling Isles?

In the webcomic, 21st Century Fox Hi Res, giraffes frequently fly into space: http://www.hirezfox.com/21cf/d/20020624.html

I used to think britney spears was a giraffe

As if I needed another reason to love giraffes!

Never judge a book by its cover.
