Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 21, 2023

Just how enchanting are those mushrooms? Like, would they make you bigger?

Finally, it’s a little safer to drink the water. Even though the pollution comes from upstream.

Those are some big mushrooms. Are they in Wonderland or the Mushroom Kingdom?

It was a marketing guy for a cruise line who called it Greenland.

Leif Ericsson named Greenland. His father, Eric the Red, had discovered and named Iceland, but he couldn’t people to immigrate there because of the name. So Leif named his discovery Greenland so people would want to move there.

We’re going to start calling Marigold a silly horse with a pointy head. That lives in Greenland.

I say we stop here any level of enchantment is better then less enchantment plus the mushrooms look pretty.

For anyone who read Philip José Farmer’s Riverworld (or for Dana Simpson), would the giant mushrooms be meant to be the mushroom-shaped grailsones by the sides of the River?

Did Erik the Red have red hair as Dakota does? Hmm!

If you’re trying to get to North City, head east of South Town and take a right when you get to Westville. If you reach Easton, you’ve gone too far.

Greenland still sounds better than “Lands That Are Somewhat More Enchanted, Although There Are Very Few Unicorns, So Ultimately Who Really Cares” Anyway.Also since there are some unicorns there, wouldn’t there be a reason to care by unicorn logic?

Don’t ask me how you’re supposed to fit that name on a travel brochure.

Yup, That’s climate change for you. At one time, it actually was green. About 2.5 million years ago.

The Sphinx and Dakota have the same, identical expression. Seriously, they need to keep in touch. Also, I really like this long arc.

Lame chemistry joke: What four elements make up Marigold’s favorite compound?
