Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 17, 2023

The conductor saw Dakota and that’s the real reason it left in a hurry.

Maybe Marigold is a railfan who recognized the voice of the engineer, so she hopped in to greet him and tell her about her YouTube channel, Marigold trainonthetrack, which inspired the channel, Joseph trainonthetrack, to come into existence.

This wouldn’t have happened if Phoebe never met Marigold. And that’s the biggest denominator.

Sorry I couldn’t have had it be more Dakota’s fault.

You have to admit that this time Dakota is right, they have to think what to do and Phoebe yes, you’re a dork!

hard to name call when they agree with you. At least she knows the tropes. I should try that line

Sometimes Phoebe is too logical.

They are really dorking it out!

What now girls?!

I like her attitude here.

This is the pizza that was delivered. This is the pizza we will have.

It diffuses the desire to yell and blame somebody when somebody says it’s the logical thing to do, and then you realize how illogical it is.

Then it’ll turn anticlimactic once that train comes back and returns Marigold before Phoebe and Dakota actually start to argue.

Man, Phoebe’s really ahead of the plot. I think those 2 are gonna be alrigh— Oh. They died.

Being genre savvy doesn’t help the situation, Phoebe.

It’s hard trying to tease someone about their dorkiness when they know it and fully embrace it!

Hey, Phoebe’s just trying to be efficient here.

Hate to say it, but Dakota’s being the reasonable one.

Reminds me of the song “Your Fault” from the play “Into the Woods.”

Phoebe is only a dork in Dakota’s eyes. She’s way more with it than I was at her age. Or when I was forty. Sigh.

Wonder if Marigold is screaming, neighing and pounding on the window in terror right about now?

The train is run by goblins. They’re still messing with them.

Ho no! Phoebe is panicking and start to say nonsense.
