Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 31, 2024

These are all the same cereal. The only difference is the box.

They’re magically delicious!

I bet that would zoom off the shelves!

I want to see other Unicorn Cereals too! I bet they also taste Sparkly!

Either there are very few unicorns or unicorn grocery stores are confusing. When 2 unicorns date, do they eat each other’s cereal?

Pop Rocks were quite the fad back in the late ’70s. There was even an urban legend that Mikey from the Life Cereal commercials died after consuming a large quantity of the Pop Rocks with an old 16 oz bottle of Coke or two…….

That… sounds super unpleasant actually.

Need this to be a real cereal.

I recently had a dream I was eating breakfast cereal. Then I realized the box said it was for cats. I bet unicorn cereal is formulated for unicorns.

Better than having your picture on the Weaties box!

Unicorn flakes.

I prefer a bowl of “Phrosted Phoebes” in the morning. Guaranteed to brighten your day.

This matter was discussed, but with a different slant, in a Sunday strip for 11 August 2019. “Marig O lds! They’rrrre grrrrass!”

O bviously inspired by Tony the Tiger’s “Frosties – they’re grrrreat!”

I’ll have the “Alicorn Tips!”

SHARK TANK!

And they’re high in fiber too!

I want to know who enforces unicorn laws.

I wonder if Marigold knows about the limited time unicorn cereal from Kellogg and the Lucky Charms with the unicorn marshmallows?

Who rolled those oats?

Yesterday, I observed how noisy my cereal was in milk and realized that Rice Krispies chose a lame approach to advertising. Sound is a poor selling point, and it’s not even unique to that cereal. But given how famous and long-lasting the campaign is, what do I know? Maybe I should just be glad they didn’t go the usual route of showing attempts to steal or finagle it.

Somehow I’d’ve thought Marigold would be more flakey …
