Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 23, 2013

Transcript:
Marigold: That one looks like a unicorn! That one looks like the space around a unicorn! And THAT one looks lie someone who has seen a unicorn, and stands amazed. Phoebe: That huge one looks like your ego. Marigold: Unicorn!
Where’s the map of the British Honduras and the profile of Thomas Eakins, the famous painter and sculptor? And the Stoning of Stephen with the Apostle Paul standing to one side?
couldn’t have put it better Pheebs. Looks like I have nothing new to say to Marigold your a one track mind Unicorn, Unicorn Unicorn. Do you have any room in there for any thing else? a nice pastry, a warm sunny day. a flugelhorn? No? Your just going to relate even those back to unicorns. There has to be some thing that has nothing to do with unicorns that you think about.
We don’t try to find shapes in the clouds here in the Pacific Northwest. Because when it clouds up, it usually blankets the whole sky across the whole region and then rains for a week or two… You don’t get much entertainment out of that unless you like to stomp in puddles.
C.S. Lewis pointed out that arrogant characters (like John Milton’s Satan) can be fun to read but would prove dull as RL aquaintances. I’m not so sure with Marigold.
“Uh huh. What do YOU see in the clouds, Charlie Brown?” “Well, I was going to say I saw a ducky and a horsie, but I changed my mind.” {August 14, 1960}

Phoebe should know, jabs like that won’t work on Marigold. The two of them laying back and relaxing makes my day.

Every one misses Florence. She’s unintentionally good at doge-ball.
