Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for November 30, 2016

Nah, Marigold’s just going to walk all over the snow.

Marigold is so cocky against the snow. So cocky indeed.

Ok Marigold. Then I’m guessing you don’t want a snow sculpture of yourself, seeing how so vain you are?!

Vanity, thy name is Marigold Heavenly Nostrils.

She will whizz on you!

It’s a good thing the unicorn folk reached an accord (by/among themselves) with the stars long ago…but Phoebe would do well to not encourage Marigold to visit a jewelry store unaccompanied—all of those sparkling diamonds and precious stones, showing off…

Not only is the snow going to melt, but before it does, it is going to turn into SLUSH! Ugly, gray, dirty, muddy slush.

I must say, Marigold looks rather nice in the last panel.

Jealous much Margold? Are you going to find a snowman and kick it too?

And I thought Trixie Lulamoon was vain.

And Marigold, before it melts, it’s gonna turn all yucky and dirty!

At least Marigold doesn’t have to worry about turning yellow.

Shades of something Celestia tells Twilight in the fanfic “Rites of Ascention”1:

No matter what list of things a pony can use to brag about herself, Twilight can now shut the whole thing down by adding the two words “and mortal.”

1 Pre-Magical Mystery Cure ‘Twilight becomes an alicorn’ fic. It’s a slow transformation so only a few ponies, (and one dragon), know it’s happening.

WHOA!!! Marigold in warrior mode is quite spectacular!

I like the back and forth dialogue between Phoebe and Marigold. It reminds me of Calvin & Hobbes. No set up for a punchline at the end, just silly banter between friends throughout the panels .

SO true. Nobody gives hurting the snow’s feelings even a flickering of thought. I know I never have. I-I’m so cold!
