Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for April 20, 2014

I have to agree with Marigold on that one.

The unicorn version of a figleaf.

Yes, yes it would…

To paraphrase Winston Churchill, Marigold is an immodest creature with a lot to be immodest about.

I do wonder if Marigold could just increase the Shield of Boringness, for a second or two, just to please Phoebe.

Suddendly she sounded as Rarity.

Cant argue with that

Kind of like giving the Taj Mahal an update with a nice layer of siding??

Agreed Unicorn.

Hide and seek…not appropriate for Unicorns.

This one had me laughing by the third panel. Dana, you are a genius!

GROSVENOR. Yes, Patience. Gifted as I am with a beauty which probably has not its rival on earth, I am, nevertheless, utterly and completely miserable.

PATIENCE. Oh–but why?

GROS. My child-love for you has never faded. Conceive, then, the horror of my situation when I tell you that it is my hideous destiny to be madly loved at first sight by every woman I come across!

PATIENCE. But why do you make yourself so picturesque? Why not disguise yourself, disfigure yourself, anything to escape this persecution?

GROS. No, Patience, that may not be. These gifts–irksome as they are–were given to me for the enjoyment and delectation of my fellow-creatures. I am a trustee for Beauty, and it is my duty to see that the conditions of my trust are faithfully discharged.

ergh! MAR needs lessons from Bev Doolittle equines. They can hide in plain sight.

Just a few birch or some snow, and a painted pony becomes very difficult to see.

Judy Larsen also exceptional for hiding wolves, buffalo, raptors on her horses right in plain sight..Don’t cheat. Just work on what is the true neutral space.

Leaf it to Marigold…

She’s disguised as a Zenonia dog… it’s a pretty good disguise.
