Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for November 11, 2023

Well don’t think I’ll be apologizing for calling it a blockhead.

Placebo effects aren’t enough anymore.

Can Marigold magically create a piano where they are?

I carry a voice recorder with me at all times in case concrete block inspiration strikes. For me, the inspiration comes as words describing a story idea. Maybe Phoebe could hum the tune.

Sorry, concrete block. I believe in you now.

Concrete blocks have feelings too

In Panel 4, Phoebe’s right hand looks transparent, you can see Marigold’s neck through her fingers.

Eureka!

A mad gallop right to the living room.

ZINGGG….!!

Phoebe’s new composition will be called “Ode to a Concrete Block, and I don’t mean the school principal.”

I wandered lonely as a concrete block..

I guess an idea did come to Phoebe after all, but I feel it’s gonna be that old cliche where a character comes up with a great idea while out in public, but once they get home, they immediately forget it.

block-heads…

worse than hippies, i tells ya!

worse than filthy-flyin-filkers!!!

Take the block with you and hoard all the ideas for yourself! Like disney.

Inspiration Manifestation!

i need that block.

[singing] I’m gettin’ married in the morning! Ding dong the bells are gonna chime! Pull out the stopper, let’s have a whopper, but get me to the church, get me to the church, hurry up and get me to the church on time!
