Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 27, 2017

We’ve come a long way from the days when artists had to make up a pose when painting a running horse. With modern camera technology, nothing goes by too quickly anymore.

Panel 4:

Did Marigold Heavenly Nostrils use . . . a CONTRACTION?!?

Oh, Marigold, you certainly know how to not magically make Phoebe Griselda Howell erase her worries away.

You have a bloody UNICORN for a best friend. How blessed can a young girl get? Some people are never satisfied.

And then the time comes when you have to work for a living and you realize that school and summer vacation was a magical time that can never be recaptured. Which explains why people buy lottery tickets.

Cheer up, Phoebe. Only 9 more months until summer vacation again. To be honest though, I prefer winter vacation. Can’t take the heat anymore!

This is the same comic strip from September 9 2012

Marigold knows just what to do.

This is REALLY good-looking artwork.

Where’s the +1 button? :-)

“Hang on.” Gallop away.

UNICORN!

And Phoebe’s parents never saw her again.

Good strip, but… Why is Marigold’s horn at a different angle in the last panel?

If the first panel was the only one this would be pretty depressing.

Aaaaaand school starts tomorrow. Dang.

I love marigolds smile in panel five.
