Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for June 27, 2024

Was it a stylistic choice on her part to give Phoebe 1 dot eyes and Phoebe 2 regular eyes with sclera?

Welp!

It’s a low bar when that still doesn’t include drawing a nose.

I wonder if this style is easier to draw?

Or if it’s like, when you’re a good artist, it’s hard to force yourself to draw like a child?

And I’ve often wondered if Dana colours her own strips. I think most of the GoComics strips are not coloured by the artist, except for the Sundays. In which case, has the colourist been instructed to do a sloppy job and not quite colour inside the lines?

how many phoebes are there, anyway?

How relatable. I also argue with myself about doing stuff.

That’s true; you can see the white in 2nd Phoebe’s eyes, so she’s more detailed. Good thing those helpful notes are there.

If you have to explain the difference, you didn’t do it very well.

I’ll have to look at the comics I drew at age 10 to compare.

I just noticed that only Phoebe and not Dana has signed these strips.
