Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 15, 2023

Since the cat came back, I really hope this means the lemonade elemental will come back soon.

Maybe SHE was the one who kidnapped Marigold.

It turns out, you can trust a lot of things, if not a swarm of bugs.

Notice how the train has the words, “Still not a trap.”

Kinda cold don’t you think? Nah, looks swarm to me.

Trust in the swarm.

Statements like that really bug me.

The train is still at the station. That is very convenient.

The graffiti has changed from “legit not a trap” to “still not a trap”

Very glad you are not bees, bugs!

Odd that it’s still at the station. Like it is waiting for them. Not sus at all.

A swarm of intelligent bugs that carries them through the air on a carpet. Who would’ve thunk it?

Sounds like the bugs have their own wisdom.

Cacti?

Dakota is still supplying the excellent silent commentary with her face.

Of course the bugs are honest and direct. “Insects…don’t have politics. They’re very brutal. No compassion, no compromise.” — Seth Brundle

I’m still wondering if the train actually is, legitimately, NOT a trap, and it’s just being overzealous in trying to reassure passengers as such. That strikes me as a very Dana sort of thing to do.

My kid learned that a swarm of gnats is called a “ghost” and so now when we take walks around the neighborhood at dusk he’ll suddenly cry out, “There’s a ghost!” It’s a bit disturbing.

Dakota and the Sphinx don’t seem to be impressed. I’m more and more sure they will end up living together.

their parting wisdom could have simply been “try not to swat flies”.

Very honest because they’re not intelligent or long living enough to have the higher wisdom??.
