    Yah, theres an App for that. But actually I bet any thing thats exactly the kind of App my dad would download and show to 50 people proudly. Im amazes some one took the time to program apps like that in a world where most people are too busy to do you a simple favor. So what’s next Pheebs a Unicorn app that says 500 vain comments? an app of a bunny that hides eggs? You what Im looking forward to? Chinese New Year. We’ll get to have dragons in the strip again!

    Thinking about it I do hope Phoebe has an anti-glare screen, the reflection could be distracting.

    This is why I resist the temptation to get a smart phone.

    If it’s anything like the iPhone, ‘Map App’, she’ll get a cube instead of a ball

    If you can imagine it, someone made an app for it.Equines do like to play ball. They use large pliable ones they can grab with their teeth and kick with their legs. If Marigold can make a magic texting link, she could probably play games too, maybe even insert her avatar directly into the game app.

    One of my favorite commercials (and I don’t remember if it was real or just on Youtube) was a spoof of smart-phone apps. Except instead of the word “app” it had “pony.” :-)

    Will people quite using it as a verb or adjective?

    I love how Phoebe’s expression, especially her eyes, gradually changes.

    “Why” does the ball descend? or “Why” on Earth did you download that app? :-)

    and Thanks, Reynard61!

    Speaking of dropping the ball, sundown should not come without a new HN strip. The mediocre strips I don’t like were on my doorstep before dawn; why does this keep happening to one of the pearls of the digital age?

    I don’t know why the Sunday update hasn’t happened! I can only assume it’s a script thing, and apologize on behalf of myself and gocomics!

    For now, it’s here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/102865470/hev121230.gif

    I noticed the unicorn poster on Dakota’s wall. It looks done by hand. I didn’t remember seeing it before, so I went back and double-checked her last vlog. It was there, but you couldn’t see anything but the smallest part of the rainbow, due to Dakota’s ‘speech’ (i.e. word balloons). I wonder, Dana, did you do that on purpose?

    I agree with ujean, but I wonder how much of what Dakota is feeling is desiring the friendship and companionship of a unicorn (which is the most priceless treasure in the Universe) or is she wanting to possess one?

    I also got a big chuckle out of Marigold’s reassurance! :)

    Kind of a shame that Dana’s decided to end the strip.
