Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 29, 2023

Phoebe, take the hint and move on.

A play I was in had it’s closing night recently, and I had to use hairspray for my role. I honestly don’t know how girls can stand having their hair be so stiff all the time.

Panel 4 shows, I think, that somewhere back in that empty, vapid little head Dakota knows what she’s missing out on.

Dakota’s hair does look good.

If I could go any place in the world by thinking and being there, I wouldn’t just “Go Home” I would instead go to some place interesting that was with a few hours train or bus ride from home but still comfortable enough to know I was in the right general area. At least with in the right planet. And also specify correct year. Just to be safe.

Deep and reflective, Dakota definitely isn’t!

We all know a Dakota, don’t we?!

Kitty wants Meow Mix.

The cat keeps her word, I’ll grant her that.

Such a weird adventure: tried to go to ceremony; got tricked by a goblin; beat a riddle cat at their own game; got stranded at a train station; saved a town of bugs; rode on a carpet carried with said bugs with the cat; entered the void; and came back.

…7/10.

Ode to the ’60s and to Vidal Sassoon who taught us how to cut hair so that it could FLY! “Gimme a head with hairLong, beautiful hairShining, gleamingStreaming, flaxen, waxenGive me down to there (hair)Shoulder length or longer (hair)Here, baby, there, mamaEverywhere, daddy, daddyHAAAAIIIIRRRRR!” sigh….

You still using that Greasy Kid’s Stuff?!

Who had Dakota keeps the cat?
