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

A sphere. A more perfect circle than any unicorn.

“Now”, huh? What was another popular unicorn name?

Can it pronounce the letters WWE correctly? If it can, get it on YouTube, quick!

I don’t know how many times I’ve heard it as “W-di-W-E”. Where does that even come from??

The chief engineer where I work is named Kevin.

Panel 3’s dialogue is spoken several times daily, there.

Kind of scary “Kevin” is always listening!

Pretty boring name for a unicorn! I’d expect something more along the lines of “Lord Kevin of Aetheral Wonderhooves” or something like that..

Your ever helpful irritation. The epitome of the fundamental flaw in “thinking” machines. It does exactly what it is told to do. Not what you want it to do. Made worse by the fact neither you nor the machine can track exactly why it did that.

Just be sure not to leave it home alone.

Kevin: The Artificial Elegance.

Just ask it to calculate the Square Root of Sparkle to the last digit of Glimmer. Problem solved.

Ah, the male equivalent of “Karen.” Well played….

Nope. Ain’t nothin’ like the real thing, baby! Real unicorn elegance forever!

As a Kevin, I must protest that my elegance isn’t at all artificial.

It’s just plain nonexistent, is all.
