Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for April 14, 2024

If Marigold isn’t perfect, she should be having nightmares where a blue deformed fetus tells her that.

(Courage reference, for those who don’t know.)

If she wiggles her ears fast enough, no one will notice.

No, true perfection is… well, actually it’s just a circle.

That was close, wouldn’t be good if they became enemies.

If they become enemies….. This whole comic would fall apart! Ö

“Yeah, but my left ear is PERFECTLY longer than my right.”

Dark Phoebe starting her plan for world domination by convincing Marigold that she is “good”. That girl is pure evil. BWA-HA-HA!

Marigold look at it this way, if you are perfect, you have no more to strive for in life!

the framing of panels 5 and 6 makes it look like Marigold’s horn wilts when she’s told she’s not perfect

The perfect vs. good thing could affect the outcome of the upcoming presidential election

And if Marigold ever gets over the ear thing and starts thinking she’s perfect, Phoebe can point out all her personality failings. True friendship.

One of her knees is knobbier than the rest. Almost imperceptibly thicker

Between panels 5 and 6, when Phoebe points out Marigold’s slight imperfection, Marigold’s horn ends with a tassel.

One point to Phoebe!

Sometimes a little imperfection is all that’s needed.
