Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for December 20, 2023

Whatever you do Phoebe, do NOT wish that you know what to wish for!

If you do, half the wishes you’ve ever made will be bad.

I remember years ago I wrote a P&HU-themed parody of You’re Welcome sung by Marigold, and lately I’ve been wondering if I should write a Marigold-themed version of Friend Like Me.

Did she wish for the Strip to be in Color?

Wish for 2 more arms.

One of my most favorite moments was December 22, 2012 when Phoebe released Marigold from her wish and Marigold wanted to stay friends anyway.

No pressure!

Phoebe: “I wish you didn’t put all this pressure on me by granting me a wish.”

Marigold: “…………………………………..I don’t know how to respond to that. I can’t grant that wish without granting you a wish wishing that I did not grant you a wish.”

Phoebe: “…………………………………. UNI!”

Her wish could be don’t screw up the wish!

Up to today I still get the feeling that Marigold is magically bonded to Phoebe so that even though she later offered Marigold freedom from the wish, she still was bound to Phoebe so much she couldn’t leave even if she wanted.

even though Marigold said she wanted to be with Phoebe .I just get the feeling there is some magic that took place and Marigold only thinks she wants to remain with Phoebe forever as part of the powerful spell.

but it could also be because of Marigold’s insecurity which causes her narcissistic behavior.

She always wants to hear how unicorns and she especially is the best one around.

the reason why I think she might be magically bound to Phoebe against her will is because in the beginning she was very shy of Phoebe’s wish and suggested she could wish for something else instead and tried to make excuses to not grant such a wish.

So… no pressure.

How hard can it be to wish to be another unicorn?

Choose your wish: 1) solution to climate change; 2) cure for cancer; 3) end to Israel’s genocide of Palestinians; 4) something stupid that won’t help.

“I wish to guest for a week in MARY WORTH. The woman SO needs guidance.”

Ohhhhhhh boy you’ve got to be very, very, very careful with wishes!!

You think world peace has made it to her top ten now?

Perfection is in no wise the purview of humans, Phoebe. Get over it.

Wish to be a Unicorn! What fun they’d have!

A tail! A tail!

Can’t wait to see what Phoebe will wish for.
