Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for October 28, 2023

There are neigh sayers and then there are neigh singers.

Can you swish your tail like a conductor while I play on the piano?

Oh look, it’s Fred the woodtick!

It’s Beethoven’s Fifth!

Marigold let a bug bug her.

After it becomes a mega-hit, that bug is going to sue you.

My lovely horse running through the… fieeeld

Where are you going with your fetlocks blowing in the… wiiind

I doubt the bug would be able to do anything about it anyway, Marigold.

…though it would be just like this strip for the bug to later come back with a lawyer and a notice it intends to sue them for stealing songwriting credit. :P

Will the bug object?

What’s the Linnaean name for a muse bug?

“Plink Plink Plink”- Phoebe and Her Unicorn (ft. Bug)

We all heard this mentally as Beethoven’s 5th, didn’t we?

One of the basic principles of musical improvisation is that when you make a mistake you build around it and make it part of what you’re playing.

Reminds me of the butterfly who landed on Millie’s tail.

The bug is probably a member of ASCAP.
